After trying a site to site solution from mother in laws house to ours, we decided to stick with the unlimited SIM (currently 3) in a 4g router. It works to a fashion and gets us between 2 and 12mbps depending on time of day and weather.
The site to site solution was impacted by the foliage between on the two buildings.
Anyway, a cryptic message was received from Openreach last week that said infrastructure problems prevented them from expanding our local cabinet (its between a drive and a path and has about a foot either side and I guess they would have to re-site it to expand it) but I should check availability very regularly as sometimes there can be availability.
So I checked everyday this week and on Thursday, after getting home from Yorkshire at about 11PM, I checked the Openreach availability tool and there was! Yippee!
Its only standard FTTC not the 2x speed variety but should be good for 28mbps.
Need to be careful though as half of the suppliers were willing to charge for the faster speed whilst only guaranteeing the 29mbps rate!
Order placed and now waiting for the engineer to turn up on the 20th.
