The North. Kendal, specifically.

One day Virgin will route a cable our way, and life will be good. Until then we're stuck with BT and their 200 year old copper (and a few cell towers without enough power to drill through the stone buildings in town, let alone the little hills around it).

Maybe Kendal should come together and investigate building your own http://b4rn.org.uk/

Actually you're right on the edge of the coverage area, why not contact them and see what it would take to extend it.

No 3G, as you say, but Ofcom's mobile coverage checker shows Kendal bathed in 4G EE coverage, with a good chance of good indoor reception. (And if not, a 4G router with decent outdoor antenna should help enormously.)

Or there's always satellite...?
