Lightening Fast Ultra Broadband

Phanothingy, I don't think your proposal to share bandwidth with your neighbour would be allowed! Even if it was, you would have to run a cable between the properties and invest in a network. Unless you used a wireless network ...

There's nothing to stop you. There was a report in Computing this year about a business park which couldn't get broadband so they persuaded a nearby homeowner who could to subscribe. As he was in line of sight they set up a satellite dish to share the connection and there was nothing BT could do.

That is exactly what I had in mind, a Wireless LAN access point outside the house and optimized for other street users by invitation/application.

I thought that was what the internet was all about, sharing information.

Have edited it out anyway.

Dont want to get anyone into bother.

sounds like a dodgy area.
