Re: Bumpkins
I posted a comment similar to Lusty's on a previous thread and I got a few downvotes for my pains. The point made is valid nonetheless; just because you don't agree with a sentiment it doesn't mean its originator is a troll.
Apart from anything else a mile from a local town is not really in the depths of the countryside, at least not compared to some people. There are small villages in Northumbria* with FTTC B/B, but there will be villages elsewhere without - at the moment it's all a bit random. (Actually it isn't, but that's another story.)
Perhaps you are simply "lucky"; there will be others only a mile from their local town who don't get anything like 75 Mbps. (And your ISP is... BT I assume)
It's perfectly simple; if you live in a remote location then your chances of fast B/B are less then if you live in a conurbation, although like most rules there will be exceptions to this.
