Think yourself lucky you can even think about broadband! BT cannot supply broadband to our village becasue its too far from the exchange, there is no cable in the village cos its not worth their bother for a couple of hundred homes, we cant have a dish up cos its a listed building....
The best speed i can manage on dial up is 38Kbs!!!
We do have electricy though (unless there is a light shower within 5 miles).
