JCD, they may offer you a wired broadband connection to replace your telephone wire as they are really moving towards a VOIP replacement for copper. I can see this being a helluva challenge for rural locations however. Even in Southern England we often drive for miles without any usable phone signal. Wales must have that problem in most areas as we had to drive for tens of miles to get a phone signal south-west of Hay on Wye.
I have moved to a small place called Pistyll on the Llyn peninsula I’m on three and only get a 3g connection it is actually faster than the broadband speed available from BT last week there where sub contractors for open reach fitting new really wide cables to the old telegraph poles so I stopped and asked them what they were doing apparently we are getting fibre to the house and we are in the sticks so to speak
