I have looked into it - recently got the email saying it's available. But it's stonkingly expensive as a backup. If it was the only option I would get it, but they are just doing enough to make my 30mbps FTTC connection usable.

3G is more than adequate for that, when in darkest cornwall I ran my entire WFH rig on a mobile 3G dongle and HD Netflix in the evenings.

Well you sort of expect a decent service. My father lives in a large and well known village in Surrey and can't get phone reception.

Maybe he just needs to find a contract at a different mobile phone company, one with better car parking?

Mr Jones said he was now contemplating changing providers

Probably a good idea. Or possibly career.

When he said IT Consultant he probably meant IT recruitment agent

Thats has to be it!
