@TD,
1. Even those in Scotland would be wise to check the sums themselves. I.e. is this the true number of residents ALL able to obtain a FTTC service or is it less than one quarter of the subscribers on a PCP as in Ewhurst ?
2. I wonder if you might find someone in a "lucky" area who might set up a wireless link for you if there is a line of sight to your house ?
Kind regards
Walter
