spursmaddave Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I saw that on the beeb the other night, but have you seen what it is costing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Probably, but not via wire! You'll most likely have to wait until 4G coverage or similar... and it will probably be a long wait at that! This was on the news the other day, maybe other schemes will start elsewhere: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21455795 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobears Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Shall we launch into the Three Yorkshiremen sketch? 2mb, you're lucky! I live in the middle of fields and my broadband speed is, at the very best, 1mb I lose the connection regularly, particularly in bad weather. Bit awkward really when you make a living running an internet business 4G will probably reach us in a few years. Whoopi doo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
