We've just moved into a rural cottage in Mid Wales and I'm currently looking at broadband options.
The best speed we've been guaranteed is 1Mb so the line in is pretty poor. There's also no fibre connection available.
We currently don't get phone signal around the house either, my partner is with Virgin and she gets a signal and 4g upstairs so I bought a Cel-fi booster but that didn't pick any mobile signal up. I was hopeful we could use the mobile network but that's not looking great either.
Last options are wireless broadband and satellite broadband, we're not in a wireless zone so that only leaves satellite.
I'm aware the installation cost is high and I'm fine with that, there is a Welsh grant scheme available but there's about a 6 week wait for approval and I'm not sure we can wait that long.
The biggest issue seems to be a lack of providers and capped data usage.
Does anyone here use satellite broadband and do you have a usage cap?
Or am I missing another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
