I'm in the process of selling my house and moving to a new area. Renting at first and then looking to buy in a year's time. Finding a property to rent in the location I'm going to is proving a bit of a headache. It's a serious university city and all the decent properties get snaffled by the student rental market. We've been to look at a few places and none of them blew my skirt up apart from the one we visited today. Lovely location. Nice landlord. Right size. Garage with power. Great views......... .......only snag is the internet. There's fibre but the cabinet's full. No more allocations. I've been living in a Virgin Media cable area forever and have got used to the net speed bouncing around 160mb/s, this place has 1mb/s...if you're lucky. Anyone got any ideas how I can solve this conundrum?
Dunno, but I moved recently and kept my Virgin media sub. http://www.speedtest.net/ claims I'm getting 70 Mbps download speeds, but despite owning a pretty good router (Linksys Archer C7), most of my devices keep dropping out. JI just can't get to the bottom of it
I moved from 28mb to 3mb and I worked from home some days. Had to go make a coffee waiting for some reports Got upgraded this year to a whopping 10mb. Pain in the arse living away from the main exchange. 10mb isn't quick enough to run BT tv
We have finally got fibre to cabinate in our village, the distance I am from the cab means max speed is 38mb, but at least I can stream HD TV on that, mates are getting 150mb+ from pure cable and can stream 4k, but god knows how you can live with 1mb? I GUESS you could try a satellite broadband connection?
Oh right!! There's another snag then! I didn'tr realise that BT TV came through the broadband. I thought it was an aerial job. It gets worse!!!
Yeah I thought about satellite. They tend to cap the download limit quite heavily though, from what I've read.
Yeah i was already to ditch Sky and take BT tv as i was already with bt for broadband when they told me. Propper pain in arse.
