Hi, It's been a while since I posted. I am having to do this through the
we=
b application as not all my email accounts have been fully set up since
mov=
ing to Cornwall in April having sold my house in Kent.

We have gone from a decent ADSL connection to an unreliable 2.5G
connection=
with Vodafone, FTTP is something we can only dream of as we are out in the=
middle of Bodmin Moor and it will probably not be upgraded in my lifetime.=
..

There is hope, a company is carrying out the UK's first LTE trial (4G)
loca=
lly and I am desperate to get on that... I knew I used the internet a lot
b=
efore but it is almost impossible to run a business, a non techy business,
=
without the internet. Even HMRC want you to submit returns using the web!!!

I will be looking to extend an ADSL service 5Km or so using an IP based
Mic=
rowave link this winter if something doesn't happen soon... Any one want
to=
help with a survey on the Moor?

Nigel, having to type very slowly....
