 Broadband costs - Falkirk Bairn
Lucky lot talking about 30-180Mbps

No fibre in my street or exchange - infact no cabinets in the phone exchange area.
Not even copper to the house - aluminium!
5Mbps is the best we get around here with no prospect of anything better - BT supposed to
be looking at something that would give 10 but no dates.

200 yards away @ a former great aunt's house I could get 100Mbps on a different exchange. 20 years ago a fibre cable was laid in the road at the foot of my garden to supply a business park. No real competition so BT just pockets the money & spends SFA.

& we occasionally see a G4 mobile signal at the back of the house but it is weak.
