Lamenting a move back to ADSL...

[peanutismint]

I'm moving into a new build home next month which will unfortunately mean switching from 60Mb cable broadband to 3Mb (if I'm lucky!!) ADSL.

As far as I can tell, despite the street being cabled, there is no way for me to get cable (via Virgin Media) installed to the house (according to their postcode checker). I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing, or whether getting something like a 4G dongle might somehow give me closer to the 60Mb speeds I'm used to? Or do I just have to resign myself to the fact that I'm destined for massively slower internet??!

If there's cable in the area you need to speak to them. Postcode checkers only get you so far, especially with new builds.

Have you checked for FTTC?

Hmm good point. Will give them a call. As far as that BT infinity thing goes, we're getting it in the area but they promised it by the end of 2012 and now they're saying July 2013 so I'm not holding my breath....!!
