Broadband Alternative

bigmaz2000 · 3 Aug 2017 at 19:01

Hi guys

I have been offered a contract position that I will be remotely working from home. The only issue is I have really bad broadband.... What are the best options for an alternative? I have a mifi unit that I sometimes use with a 20GB data limit. Is this my only option? Or is there other options out there?

Thanks in advance

I take it VM and FTTC are not available?

Unfortunately not.... Or I would have gone down that route

Beyond a 4G dongle, your only real option is satellite broadband, but the latency wouldn't be nice for remote working.

Been suggested getting a 4G Router, think i'll just do that....

If you have ADSL then sign up to Amazon Workspaces and do all your work in that. If you have to take a PC from the company then see if they use something like Citrix, if they do then you'll be fine.

Where abouts do you live (roughly)?

Just how bad is your broadband exactly? We talking sub megabit speeds?

This, have you checked if any WISPs serve your area?
