[Linux-aus] Scottish rural broadband adventure

[Janet Hawtin]

"One man and his mission to get broadband where BT said it wasn't possible."

There are many great things about living in a rural area – getting
broadband isn't one of them!

Our house is only 8Km from the telephone exchange, but the telephone
cable running up the side of the road is ancient and doesn't serve
enough houses for BT to consider it worth upgrading. Although we
ordered broadband when our exchange was activated, the cables are just
not up to the job and despite a visit from a BT engineer it simply
wouldn't work."
