>Business owners and families in the village experience internet connections akin to those at the foot of the Earth’s highest mountain, with some claiming it is even slower.
>A survey of almost 1,500 businesswomen and men by the BCC found that firms in rural areas are twice as likely to have a poor connection as those in towns or cities. Smaller companies are also worst hit.
>The BCC has called for urgent action to tackle the issue, warning that ‘unreliable’ connections are putting firms at a ‘competitive disadvantage’.

>One of the most famous places in the world has better infrastructure than a small village in North Wales

k, keep me posted

>Mount Everest needs an internet connection
What, is it absolutely fucking necessary to take a selfie and immediately share it on Instagram while on top of a mountain?

oh god just 2.7Mbps

tfw my street has had fiber delayed until 2018 and i only get 1.6Mbps on a good day

>arguably the most dangerous place in the world, with numerous research and weather stations and positioning devices

Yes, people need communications there.

>get 40mbps in the desert of Straya
>bong island cant even into internet

You mean 40kbps right?

seriously man this shit drives me up the fucking wall

Sorry OP, not feeling it here.

Bicton Heath?

Nah, a tiny little village in Shropshire.

Lovely part of the world.

That feel. We have the same problem, our country is fucking huge. I used to get 1.5 down but recently it's been improved to 4.0

Solid 40 megs, literally innawoods

>tfw on 200Mbps
>also know labelling trickery of the eternal wifi jew

The sooner people l;earn the difference between a megabit and a megabyte, the better. A lot of people think their connection is shit hot, when it is in fact just shit.

>be southerner
>start terrible "business" using money from your parents houses in london
>move to the north or wales because land is incredibly cheap and you secretly hate black people
>be surprised when the locals have no use for heavy internet usage and no interest whatsoever in your company

Every single time these companies are run by the bored wife of a broker, who does things like make prints of cakes and sells them to other delicious MILFs across the Home Counties.

West wales here, I'm lucky to get 1.5mbps.

It may not seem important to you folks but in a rural area these days more and more work is being done online, except, those of us with shit internet can't join that work. It isn't just the download speeds, it's the upload speeds.

I can't skype call people, I can't e-mail documents over to someone in a rush, it is legitimately faster to put the files on a thumb drive and have someone drive out to the customer which obviously incurs costs.

In terms of relaxation I can't watch a streaming film, I can't watch HD videos on youtube, I can't upload my own videos, I can't stream or watch streams.

Not an issue for me as I left school years ago but kids these days have online requirements, videos they have to watch, files they have to upload, online whiteboards etc etc, our kids are getting fucked up the ass because they can't take part in and use the enormous materials that some dumbass in the middle of the fucking desert has access to.

The modern world relies heavily on the internet whether you're in a built up area or a rural one, we are being left out and left behind.

Again, it doesn't seem like an important deal at first but it is actually killing rural wales now.

>tfw 1gbps down & 200mbps up metropolitan speeds for 13 euros/month

This is because you all vote Labour or Plain Cummy, who squander vast amounts of cash on nothing of value then have none left for infrastructure.

Same in Northern England. Very few people actually put in more than they take out and they keep voting for lunatics who blow all the available cash on stupid things

>West wales here, I'm lucky to get 1.5mbps.
wut, this is the point where you must ask yourself... is this first world even?

...

This is true.

The country is beautiful but has always been poor.
I look out my window and I see green fields to the horizon, I have no neighbors, I can go to town and I likely won't see a single non-white person there. There are benefits to this life.

It is just unfortunate that we are lagging behind so much technologically.

>I look out my window and I see green fields to the horizon, I have no neighbors, I can go to town and I likely won't see a single non-white person there. There are benefits to this life.
Maybe you are blessed after all, then. I bet muzzies won't be present there for a long time . Also, less degeneracy out there in the countryside, nothing more redpilled than fresh air and some hard work every now and then. Keep going lad!

i know these feels, only difference is i live in Edinburgh and not the countryside

Of course everest has the best internet speeds. It's the closest thing on earth to the satellites!

Used to have +60Mb/s for around 150$ / month
Now im at half of that and its more than enough

i presume you're talking about some weird dollar and not USD

Cool upload speed nerd

Nice monopoly you just gave to these corporations EU

Fuck that shit, glad we will soon be out

Good point. Lucky I never upload anything.

>tfw 384kb/s

Forgot to add

>30€/month +18€ GEZ for tv i never watch

>never upload anything
>posting with images on Sup Forums

>businesswomen and men

Oh no no no
HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
oh no *breathes in*
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHWHAHHAHAHAHA

>2.7Mbps is the worst in the uk

Highest I ever get is 2.4

Internet speed is measured in megabits aka 8x what you say you have

1MB/s = 8Mbps

That's really bad man. I have 40mb here but can get up to 100mb for more $$$
You should complain and tell them that people in Africa literally have faster internet.

If that pic is of your download speed on steam then its not that bad since steam mesures it in megabytes/s not megabits/s

mbs and mbps are the same thing

megabytes persecond

Built my own rural fiber network, 65km of fiber pipe, 100 homes connected, 1gbit speeds, with 40gbit backbone. Average use is only 10mbit tho.. since these are all farmers. Highest peak user was 300mbit. Cost $200k after tax cuts.

Nah speedtest which people ususally use to mesure their internet speed uses megabits while steam uses megabytes

I'm looking at moving to England in a few months.

What areas are "nice" and not shitty and enriched? I already know to avoid London.

That's impressive

You must be from a really small village lad. You don't get this fucking dim without some serious inbreeding

There is no such thing as a mbs or a mbps. There is no such thing as a millibit.

Im from a tiny rural seaside town in southwest England.

I shit you not both my grandparents legitimately still have dial up modems. Im not even sure how, it defies all reason. If you call their landline when theyre browsing for granny stuff like cakes and knitting and big dick porn you can hear that crackling screech.

Probably any cities that have under 100,000 population are a safe bet.

>grandparents legitimately still have dial up modems
BUT WHY?????

>HAHAHAHAG
>ABSOLUTELY FUKKEN REKT
>BRITBONGS BTFO STOP THE FUKKEN PRESS A TINY VILLAGE WITH A POPULATION UNDER 2000 HASNT GOT VERY GOOD INTERNET MOTHERFUCKER JONES THOSE STUPID BRITS THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS FUCKED

Legit i have no idea. I went to visit them a few months back (am now a big city slicker) and its like a step back in time. Windows 95 with a dial up connection. Had to download something for work, ended up going down pub for 3 hours came back to it on 93%.

In all seriousness though, living somewhere like that is way better for your general quality of life, everything is so much more laid back.

>In all seriousness though, living somewhere like that is way better for your general quality of life, everything is so much more laid back.
I don't argue this one, there is a certain value in living simple. When I visit my grandmother or my father's (divorced from my mother, moved to a very small town, got a new wife, bought a house, started building and stuff. He has quite redpilled political opinions, actually) sometimes I notice this too. First thing that comes to mind is the calmness, the positive energy and vibes from the entire environment. Everything has a certain rhythm to it, there is no rush, no chaos, no petty arguments all the time.

I genuinely believe that convenience is what makes people so unhappy these days.

Nothing in life is hard earnt or fought for anymore. Nobody realises patience. You can get an app that tracks your pizza and tells you how long itll be, because nowadays no one can just relax and have a little patience and trust that things will come to be.

Growing up i legitimately picked potatos and Fished for our evening meal. (It wasnt life or death we did have shops but it was just nicer that way). In the country, everyone works hard but you definitely feel like you can be proud at the end of the day and say "I earnt this".

lmao

Good post, agreed

>a takes less than a second to upload
>needing more than 10Mbps upload speed

>Buy house in buttfuck nowhere halfway up a mountain because you hate the city
>Complain that it's hard to access and you don't have amazing futuristic internet despite there only being 12 people in your village.

Waaaah, why won't people do everything I waaaaaant!!!

AND GUESS WHAT?
I don't care! Sage.

>Greatest country ever
>Can't even install proper internet connections

Lmao, looks like British internet is as shitty as British plumbing.

Ive posted on brit/pol using satellite internet from a boat in wales moored before, i think it showed me as posting from the isle of man or ireland cant recall.

The downstream wasnt bad, but the fucking ping/request was horrific.

It would take like 30-60 seconds for links to open but once the data came in the page loaded fast.

Youtube at 1080p worked but you had to let it buffer for 5 mins first, which wasnt so bad on a 25minute podcast.

It was usable for browsing so long as you didnt expect to game as that would be impossible.

People who climb Everest are willing to pay thousands for a few days of connectivity. They need to bring a line up, and since it gets so little traffic it will be incredibly high speed and stable.

i remember the dark days of shitty ADSL

my cousin's house in west chiltington is like that

A few of the farmers up here in Cumbria are losing out because of shite internet. Got it alright where i am luckily. Shits not right

Ok.

Why? Are you retarded?
