LLap Top

They have no idea just hw close to the truth that is

LLap Top

Would be pronounced 'Clap Top'

Internet we have (just)

Mobile internet; now that probably won't be here until 2020*

* I'm not even talking 3G - a functional mobile internet of any speed would be a start for people living north of Merthyr Tydfil.

It's amazing what you get used to. In sarf London you take these things for granted. I get annoyed not to have 3g and often we have 4g now. I'd swap it for the Welsh countryside though...

Now, 4G irritates me no end. I pay the same bloody line rental as most other folk in the UK. Are Vodafone working hard to bring 3G to each of their customers wherever they might be? Are they buggery.
Are they spending millions bringing 4G to a small proportion of their customers who happen to live in London? Yes, I know it's the capital city and it'll be better for business and all that crap, but FFS, sort out the rest of the country first, preferably before 2020...

Not that I want to rub it in or anything but 4g is almost as quick as broadband.

They all work on x% coverage. Stick a few masts in London, bingo 20 million people in range that's 30% of the population straight away!

Lowestoft:
20mb BB & 7mb 3g

10 miles south of there
7mb BB & SFA 3g

4G, like Wales nothing but a distant dream....

Diseworth, East Mids
1mb BB & 7mb 3g

All depends on location!

What's a mobile signal?

A device that allows communication between two people who are at a distance from each other whilst also being easily transportable, a set of semaphore flags would be a good example , .

You need a thing called a mobile phone to receive this "mobile signal". As referenced above, if you live in a large city, you'll be fine. Residents situated in isolated valleys, possibly in mid Wales and especially due west of Pennant, need not apply

but Merthyr is the end of the world there are no places North of it...

I certainly felt the World had ended last time I went to Merthyr.*


*1999 Welsh Monte. I'm sure it's picked up & the Gurnos estate is like Sandringham.
