Northumberland Village Gets 80Mbps Wireless-to-the-Cabinet Broadband

Homes and businesses in the remote rural Northumberland (England) village of Coanwood, which is home to around 200 people, have become the latest to benefit from BT’s hybrid Microwave (radio) and VDSL based ‘up to’ 80Mbps Wireless-to-the-Cabinet (WTTC) broadband technology.

Over the past 3 years we’ve seen BT pilot WTTC in a number of areas, such as on the remote island of Rathlin, in the Devon village of Northlew and around the small village of Westow that sits on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. So far it seems to be a niche technology that targets very specific areas, such as those where a normal fixed line approach wouldn’t be cost effective.

How long before the cranks come up with anti WTTC masts objections, then?

If I make a tinfoil kite and fly it near the dish will it knock the link down?
