If it's a relatively remote village not near a small town, it still might be a number of years until fibre to the premise arrives. If you're lucky, Gigaclear might be putting in fibre already...

I'm on ~75 mbps now. Previous place I lived was up to 8mbps when we got swapped over to the "faster" exchange

Sudbury is only about 15-20min away from me. I moved away from the coast where Jobbo spotted me years ago, and I'm near Lavenham now.

We really should organise a Suffolk meet at some point!

A friend of mine has owned an Ateca for several years now and he seems to really like it

I've already been scanning RIghtmove and found this for starters. Masses of storage / garage / workshop / studio / gallery space. And over 7 acres of pasture for parking other junk when all that's full up

I assumed you were still a fair bit west of me rather than south

Yes, broadband can be rather patchy. Adsl in our village was awful, but luckily were one of the first small villages to get fttp.

I guess starlink is the answer these days for more remote places, I don’t think it’s really much more than we pay for the bt stuff.

How does that fit with all the Insta videos where you're dashing around shops and filming stuff? A bit more time needed if there's nothing on your doorstep like in that there London?
