I've seen broadband via SKY demoed at an IT event I attended last year (I'm
an IT Manager) its very impressive and priced the same as ADSL. The only
trouble is you're limited on your upload speeds to the speed of your modem
33.6 or ISDN if you're using that.

What annoys me is that the BBC is expanding and spending money on things
such as DAB and Freeview yet I and lots of other CAN'T get them, but we pay
the same thieving license fee

Right that a very small one. Don't see that being upgraded for a long
time to come yet.

I'm toying with trying a DAB aerial, or piping sky down to the
kitchen, but either way is a bit of a pain, the whole idea of a
wireless is it has no wires. We don't get a fantastic FM signal in
the village either, I listen to 5 live mainly which tends to fade in
and out quite a bit so DAB would have solved this annoyance,
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well it looks as if...if you chose to live in these pretty out of the
way places then you have to put up with lack of some 21st century things
ducks!

The problem of local relays needs addressing, maybe OFCOM should be
pulling its finger out with this one, and don't even get me started on
broadband!


Don't get me started on Ofcom either:-(((((((((

Or broadband. SAT BB is getting quite reasonable now so a mate of mine
sez who lives out in the wilds of Norfolk, where DTV and DAB are things
yet to come, 'tho Sky is fine in the flatlands......
