[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7360648, member: 166"] From my own investigations; [LIST] [*]FTTC then the last bit via the BT copper wire. Very slow and can be unstable unless you're close to the exchange. There's usually a big dead zone close to towns where there are longer runs of copper wire from the urban exchange. [*]FTTP is expensive but more of an option when there is a group of you or you life in an urban area. The quickest BB speeds from this. Plenty of private providers of this now as well as BT Openreach. [*]Microwave - works on line of sight only but if the lie of the end works for you then this can be very effective. Lots of this in rural areas, especially with landowners with power to hilltops for the repeaters. The range is around 22km before needing to be picked up and sent on again. A tree branch in front of the beam is enough to foul it up. [*]4G or 5G. See above! May require an external antenna in thick walled buildings. Needs proximity to a phone mast. [*]Satellite - you're better placed to comment. Long latency times & bandwidth can be limited if demand is high but all you need is sky above you...
