Wireless broadband

I have moved into a flat in Canterbury, Kent, and there is no TV aerial or broadband and no cable links. There are major problems with having a satellite dish as I am surrounded by tall buildings and most of the town is an ancient heritage site. Tom Kain

HomeChoice would solve your problem by delivering the "triple play" of TV, phone and broadband down one line, but it's only available inside the M25. You can check for broadband availability by entering your phone number at http://www.bt.com/broadband/. Alternatively, Telabria did some WiMax wireless broadband trials last year with the University of Kent and this service may be available now or soon. You can check the availability of SoHome 1.5M and 3M wireless broadband at http://www.sobroadband.com/coverage.php. Otherwise, talk to your neighbours: the TV problem might be solved via a communal aerial or MATV (Master Antenna) system.
