DIY Rural Broadband .
I would only consider FTTH / FTTP
Fibre
To
The
Home /
Fibre
To
The
Property only because FTTC Fibre To The Cabinet is a waste of time as you relie on the Copper wire for up to the last mile which will throttle the through put.
The way modern technology is going we will need
High upload and download of 1Gbs or more (Each way !).
-----------------------------
With no upgrading of our internet D/U speeds until maybe 2015 or later
or never, I want to look in to getting faster broadband to our village and maybe the surrounding area
.
Being inspired by the B4RN (
www.b4rn.org.uk ) and other projects.
I remember a few years ago Fibre was being installed about a Mile from our village, asking one of the workmen where it was going all he knew was it was coming from the nearby Derby City to another local Town but not our village.
Question 1..
How Do I Find Out Who Owns That Fibre ?.
2..
Can anyone give me a good step by step approach to getting fibre into our village,
Do I contact B4RN ?.
3..On this Video at about 1.30 mins in he talks about how he gets fibre into his home (he lives in a small village in Suffolk with fibre nearby like we do !)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mVlarBXGDkHe talks about getting the local guys to connect it up
How ?
He also talks about putting it in the local ducts himself,
Can anyone do that ? or do you need some permission ?Maybe I should email him ?
