For as long as I can remember us poor folk in rural Wales had to suffer from some of the worst internet in the country.
For example the internet I am using right now is 0.75 MBPS and is sold to us as broadband and charged the same as customers getting considerably faster speeds in other areas.
We had to watch as Cities got superfast BT infinity, then larger towns and so on.
Then BT developed a new way to spread fiber deep into rural areas cost effectively called fiber to the remote node.
So I phoned them up when it was ready and I nearly fell off my chair when they said estimated speed possible.
It has gone from 0.75 MBPS to 300 MBPS. ( depending how deep your pockets are )
Then I worked out why when the engineer turned up.
He ripped out the copper cable from my house and put a 30 meter fiber cable straight directly into my house lol.
Thank god we are saved at last.
