Re your comments. My feeling is that a lot of us may find problems connecting up! I hope I am wrong. I am on the last pole out of Plumpton exchange. A BT engineer told me that my line is routed the long way round, up to the Plough and back again! Well out of ADSL range! On the same pole others can be routed via Sun Lane to the exchange, the shorter route and within range! I do not know how much truth is in this, but may cause problems for some of us in the future.We may need to create several local WiFi networks.
Does anyone know Bob G in plumpton to try and get him on the forum to really let us know how his trials are going for a local WiFi network to Plumpton and the surrounding villages. He did email me to say the tials were live, but I have heard no more. This could still be interesting! Also there is the group up in Barcombe still trying to get a link operational.
Personally satellite does not interest me. I have the grant but I havent used it! Other views on Satellite broadband may be helpful. My kids say the "ping" makes gaming impossible with satellite???
