Broadband question

kristapsl · 21 Nov 2017 at 10:58

Hi.
Hope I get a post in right section.
What are the broadband options if no virgin or bt lane broadband (only 1-3mbps) available?
The monthly charge should be reasonable.

Thanks, tried that. No luck. Is there some companies offering satellite or something different than BT phone line?

kristapsl, you're profile says your based in Chichester which is where I am.

I'm not aware of any area of Chichester that is not connected, so is this for you or someone else?

I use a 4G mifi router as my main home internet. I get speeds up to 60Mbps but unfortunately I'm paying £24 a month for 32GB which is a bit grim. But it'll have to do as I can't find anything better.

edit: this is with EE and it looks like they're now charging £30 for 30GB. Ouch.

Thanks for info. Not a lot to use. Is it enough for you?

The have one, but only getting 1,6 mbps. So not the best speed. No fibre available in that region as well.

I get by but obviously I don't stream any video or download games from steam. I keep GTA V patched with takes a few GB every few months but that's about it. I'm online pretty much all the time so of course most of it gets used by browsing. Occasionally I'll have a few GB on the last day (no rollovers) so I treat myself to a linux ISO.

Cousins looking for streaming a video (iptv) so with the speed he has not possible, and with mobile data amount too short. Thank you anyway for your input.

Sounds a bit extreme but in my old house we only got around 2mb, so I had a cheap provider (talktalk I think) for general browsing and then plus net on a new line for my xbox and PC hard wired. Was paying about £45 a month but it meant when someone went on facebook it would lag my connection or netflix
