My story more or less completely.
Well, I'm a long way from services at my place in Wales. Hence the solar panels and satellite system. Mobile voice coverage is possible on some parts of my place but the mobile internet signal has disappeared over the time I've been here. The internet signal is carried on a higher frequency than voice calls, and as some of you might remember from school science, there's a lot less diffraction around obstacles with higher frequencies. Whilst, the last time I checked, BT advertised that it could put a new phone line to your property for £126, that presupposes that you're in a street with a phone service. In my case it would be of the order of thousands. Yes, there are cafes and pubs with wifi networks for customers to use, but then that's a 20 mile round trip plus you've got to buy drinks or coffees to justify your presence on the premises, so not cheap. Plus if I've got my own I can have a look at stuff whenever I like. Pictures of excavator mechanisms so as to aid my repairs, queries about the white bloom on oak leaves, internet meetings with work colleagues - it all gets a whole lot more convenient.Jeezo that is pricey to just be on tinternet!!!!
Can't you get a landline to your address?
Can't the lady-friend chip in seeing as it is mostly for her?
If we had to do this, which we would have had to have done before we got a landline, I'd have gone into town to an internet café. Or borrowed a friend's as we did in emergencies or when W had to work sometimes during her hollibobs!
Yes, that's what I did. In 2007 I did a job for a friend of mine which involved installing a set of gates for a friend. Heavy wooden posts and large gates, plus punching post holes into the bedrock, mixing up cement to set them into and suchlike left me with considerably more aches and pains than I would have had as a youngster. So I started doing a bit of resistance exercise every day and have gradually built it up.
I forgot to mention, and this'll make peeps laugh, that when I was recently separated from W #1 I thought I'd better do stuff to make myself more attractive.
An interesting read for me as I am wondering if a system like this MIGHT give me a signal.
It most likely would do. Starlink has brought the internet to many rural areas in the US and Europe.An interesting read for me as I am wondering if a system like this MIGHT give me a signal.
Thanks for that but I just do not see how I fit in on that!!! As a rough estimate it looks as if my part of the world map is a red dot!
Me too , £150, 2nd month in a row after 16 months of nowt. Feeling lucky, numbers on for tonight's Euromillions
Bread plant ask Mr Christian
you rub them with hands to get the tinny nodes of the skin 5%
Crikey are box cost 50€ and 25€ a month no contract 4G
That's the sort of thing I've been struggling with. There's less and less cellular signal in these 'ere hills. It was fine until about the end of 2022 and then it's just got worse and worse.
Works both ways your body can be knackered at are age if you have had a heavy physical job the door swings both ways its a fine line
Yet more and more satellites beeing put up there some thing going on ??
. On the plus side, we got one of those there plasterboard hoists. They are cheap as chips, and make the job of placing and holding the sheets in place a doddle while yer get the screws in.
