Today, all being well, we are having satellite broadband installed!
My biggest gripe about my broadband at the moment isn't the 2Mps download speed but the paltry 0.1 Mps upload speed. Despite the major local exchanges being upgraded to fibre optic and improving speeds in the towns out here in the sticks where we are over 2 miles away from the nearest rural exchange and forecasts of improvements in speeds are negligible.
We are a good two years away from any major improvement so it is time to sign up a two year deal with a satellite provider and today we get it installed. I am looking forward to 20Mps download speed but even more exciting is the upload speed of 2Mps. Even if we get half of that I will be really pleased.
This means that when I am sending customers brochures (in readable PDF format) I haven't got to wait for them to be uploaded. When I send large datafiles (some in excess of 250Mb) I haven't got to find something to do for 40 minutes while the system uploads it. At least that is what I am hoping.
I'll keep you posted whether I do get those sort of speeds!
