Re: Depresses me that consideration for UK areas...
Quite... Harwell Oxford, surprisingly, is arguably one of the best-connected places in the UK outside London. Why? Because Janet has its HQ there and STFC is a CERN Tier 1 centre and they slurp data from Meyrin like crazy.
The bandwidth available on this quaint little business campus is staggering. With Didcot B just 2 miles down the road, and a major solar farm being built a mile away, with easy access to the A34 (and by extension the M4) and the Great Western Line (Paddington, Reading), it's actually not a bad place.
