Yes, there is a flight to what we call ¡°the country¡± here too, with prices in our area, or indeed anywhere rural enough to boast a sizeable garden, going silly. ?We have a garden, which is quite big enough for us non-gardeners, and receives the occasional hedgehog visitation, so that¡¯s nice.

It is very beautiful here but the mountains work against us an difficult terrain. The j oke up here was roads just wound round trees and cart track

?Down the road right opposite the Telstra rim cabinet one family there get a download speed of 2¡­. I¡¯m a couple of klms further and I get 15 or even a tick better if I¡¯m lucky. I have the reputation of being ¡°you know that woman with the marvellous speeds on Cedar Ck Rd¡± :-)

When we came here there was a box on the wall and we turned a handle and someone answered up at the exchange on Telegraph Hill as the locals call it - and we had two digit oh numbers. Internet was non existant back then.?

But you¡¯re right these days it¡¯s becoming a question you have to ask if it¡¯s important to you. Newer residents obviously never asked or were promised something that never happened. Unfortunately in covid people are buying out in these areas even sight unseen. ??¡â??

?Not good! ?One of our criteria when we were looking for houses in Dorset last autumn and winter was good Internet. ?The house that we¡¯ve bought has the fibre cabinet about 30m away, so my Internet is as fast as it can get in most parts of the UK ¨C 73 Mbps download, 20Mbps upload.

But that looks like a beautiful part of the world.

Tonight Current Affair ?Chnl 9 program featured locals talking about our struggles re phone and internet in our area...... it gives you a look at the sort of area we live in.

I had a part as rent a crowd last week on another channel and got spotted and one of our local club members tracked me down via good old white pages to ask me some Mac questions he wanted sorted :-)?
