After lots of delays and uncertainty, I've found a house I like, 45 minutes drive North of Cardiff. :sun:
The sale of my late Father's house has gone wrong several times, but is now nearing completion. If it all goes well, I could be in Wales by early summer.

My commiserations, Ian.
Ha, seriously ..... good luck with the move. My ex in-laws are from the Rhondda Valley, which was about 40mins from Cardiff, or thereabouts, if memory serves ???
Are you moving around there ??

Yes, near to Ferndale as far as I can work out. I'm not that familiar with the geography around there yet. I like Cardiff, but couldn't afford anything too near the city. This place came up surprisingly cheap, and the countryside nearby is lovely.
I've just discovered a problem though - posted to the FTTC forum - despite what the Rightmove website (and compare the market) told me, there doesn't seem to be FTTC at the address, and the ADSL estimate is 3mb :o
I shall have to sit and look at the countryside views while my web pages are loading.

I loved the Rhondda for the scenery, especially on a sunny day.
I've had a very quick perusal around Ferndale and there's plenty of Cabs showing as having an FTTC twin ...... I would have to have more info obviously, to gauge whether your postcode has similar ??. :)

Your first task will be to erect a shed, add solar-panels to its roof and then have FTTS (fibre to the shed) installed. :)

That's all I get when the wind is in the correct direction and my pages load ok. :D

The house already has two sheds, although one of them is rotten and I shall probably take it down. Hoping to take my own shed along with me though. And it's solar panels.
Fibre To The Shed? Ooh! I shall phone Martlesham first thing in the morning and get it ordered.

If I don't get FTTC then Kitz forum will get endless posts from me about how I gained 2k extra download bandwidth with 3 (not 4) twists of the cable around a ferrite with mystic crystals hanging nearby.
