Hi!
Another question on broadband in the boonies......
![Grin ;D](https://forum.kitz.co.uk/Smileys/kitzemotes/grin.gif)
I live near
Tenbury Wells in the countryside in Worcestershire and have a fairly troublesome overhead line resulting in our net connection being 9Mb down and 1Mb up. Our local exchange is FTTC enabled but I have followed the advice given that our line is likely to be slower if we 'upgrade' so we have stuck with ADSL 2+.
Now the kids are getting older this is proving inadequate and I want to know if I have any options to go faster.
A local business (obviously suffering similar issues) had BT install a dedicated optical fibre connection last year that runs straight past my house, I know this because they dug up my drive to install it and I watched them put it in.
Does this present me with any opportunities? Could I pay to piggy back on their fibre?
I have no FTTP option according to Zen, my ISP. I have looked at satellite and it looks like a non-starter for a variety of reasons. Is my only other option to install a second telephone line and use a load balancing router of some kind to (hopefully) double my connection?
Cheers big ears!
