What broadband services are available in rural areas?

We see the struggle of the digital divide for those living in rural areas, as people don’t have as many options for broadband as those who live in the city. But don’t be discouraged, there are still plenty of options out there for you too.

Fibre broadband

Fibre broadband is the fastest and most reliable broadband technology available in the UK. The downside? It’s unfortunately not available everywhere yet, and it is less likely to be available in rural areas too.

With that said, there are two types of fibre broadband which may become available shortly: fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) and fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP).

FTTC is a part-fibre and part-copper connection which runs from the exchange to your nearest broadband cabinet. Copper telephone lines are then responsible for the cabinet to your property. This is an issue for rural areas as the cabinets are few and far between, and the further you are from them, the slower your speeds will be.

FTTP is classed as the heavyweight of the broadband world. It’s an end-to-end full fibre connection which runs all the way from the exchange, direct into your property, so the connection is far more reliable, and much faster with speeds up to 1000Mbps (or 1Gbps, to you and me).

Fixed wireless broadband

Fixed wireless broadband, also known as fixed wireless access (FWA) uses radio signals to connect you to the internet. Transmission mast radios communicate to a smaller radio receiver at your home. The main downside to fixed wireless is that you need line-of-sight to the mast to be connected, which limits who can get it, and how reliable it might be.

ADSL broadband

ADSL broadband is widely available and works by using your copper telephone line to connect you to the internet. The main issue for this traditional type of broadband is similar to that of FTTC, but worse, as none of the connection is fibre. Instead, the signal has to pass through even more outdated copper to reach your home, which slows your speeds down even more.

Satellite broadband

Satellite broadband is a type of wireless broadband that works by connecting a satellite with a receiver dish at your home. This broadband is an option if you are very rural and can’t get a mobile signal, however, it is known for being both expensive and unreliable.

Mobile broadband

Mobile broadband, also known as 4G broadband, uses the same technology as the mobile data on your phone to get you online. This can be a good alternative for those who don’t have the option for wireless or fixed line broadband, but speeds can vary, especially if there’s not a good phone signal in your home. Some providers can install a receiver on the outside of your home to help boost the signal and get you better speeds.
