Hi All
I have a customer on a connectivity starved site;
- Estimated 3.5Mbps Broadband
- Outside mobile coverage, almost nothing inside
- No FTTC on the horizon
- No WISPs
… and just before someone shouts bonded DSL …
- No spare copper in to the area
The customer is trying to achieve about a dozen phone lines and broadband for
remote desktop usage (desktops in the cloud).
Now the interesting one is that they’re right on the edge of their phone
exchange area. Just up the road, probably under 500m, the neighbouring
exchange starts. (Same STD prefix). The neighbours can get 15Mbps FTTC and
apparently FTTP says the BT DSL checker!
Does anyone know if it’s possible to persuade BT to swap a users exchange?
Especially as it’d solve their issue as well. The dozen companies with lines
on the estate could all swap exchange, giving BT back some much needed copper
and getting the broadband / lines they all want.
Anyone have other funky ideas? VoLTE maybe for the voice, although cautious as
mobile coverage is sketchy.
Maybe we could drop a FTTC/FTTP in at neighbours and WiFi link it.
Cheers
Mark
