broadband availability!

[tracymort]

anyone now wh ythere is no chance in the next few years of my town getting broadband? I live in south woodham ferrers and all the surrounding areas seem to have it yet i've been told there is no info at all on when we'll get it. Despite the fact I live in one of the top 10 most desirable, unbelievably expensive commuter town's! Full of people on the net!

That's probably not true. You probably aren't within 6 miles or so of a telephone exchange, and it's probably not worth it for them to get cable there. You should however get it eventually, and if not then there's high speed satellite links which may already serve or will soon serve your area. Cable's not the only one there are a few other such things to choose from... search around.
