antonknee: Why not see if Vodafone will supply you with their fixed wireless product? May have better coverage/capacity in the area and will be cheaper than RBI.

As mentioned our cooper line down the road is horrendous which chorus refuse to improve so ADSL is out of the question

Like Skinny, Vodafone has a fixed wireless product that uses 4G. Understand DSL is out of the question.

That said it sounds you are more rural than I thought.

Would encourage you to look closely at whatever options @hio77 is able to point you in the direction of - he is very switched on when it comes to this sort of thing (as you may have worked out already 🙂)

Also feel free to PM your details. I know the area well, and may have an option depending on line of site to Quinns road. I can also install RBI if it comes to that.

Highly likely this is best bet.

OP is at a different end to where i thought, so the wisp i was going to recommend wasnt a great option.

also where was your quinns road offering when i was after it, i was looking for someone on that site for ages!
