I just had a look at your site. Any quick suggestions for an
alternative to broadband as we cannot get BB here? BT says our
exchange is 'unviable'. Enquiries have shown that we are not likely to
get BB *ever*.

Satellite, I believe, is a possibility? Anything else? BTW NTL Cable
isn't available either.


Satellite is possible but expensive, it can also be a bit of a
dissapointment for some activities like web browsing...

Wi-fi is probably your best bet. You may find there is already coverage
from a "mesh" or net in your locality.

How far are you from somewhere that can get BB? Have you got line of
sight to it?

IIRC there are others on this NG that have solved the same problem with
long range WiFi (over several hops if needs be) back to BB civilisation ;-)
