I have ranted before (here and here) about the lack of Broadband in my local community. Up until now, the only broadband they’re used to in my village is the extremely girthful length of rope that is used in the annual inter-pub, boxing day, tug-o-war challenge across the pond (which I was coerced into taking part volunteered for this year. We won, of course!)

So I discover with some surprise and delight that the trigger level for our exchange, which was recently lowered to 100, has been reached and we are now scheduled for activation. Of course, judging from the activation dates for our region so far, this isn’t going to be until May at the earliest but it’s a start! It makes up for an otherwise dull, uninspiring day at the office.
