I bet there are some pointless restrictions added to the contract for the fibre optic to prevent you doing just that! There was a thin in Cumbria called the Eden valley project (?) where the locals got together and got a T1 in and shared it amongst homes and business' - worked out pretty cheap! Basically I think they set up a WLAN so have chat with your vicar and see if you can stick a linux router in the church organ feeding a WLAN access point on the church steeple. A small technical management committee to run and help and a box full of pringles packets for arials etc and you'll be helping windows users for the rest of your life! But seriously set down any terms of use carefully.We are connected to broadband: BT supply at 1 Mb at the moment and ukfsn are promising 2.5Mb once I change ISP in the near future (not 8 as we are not close enough to the local box) However I now discover that "the Government" has laid a fibre-optic cable to the village edge. I believe with the intention of providing "broadband" to the local primary school Two questions - Does anyone know where I could go to find out more about the capacity of this school broadband, timing, budget etc? - Does anyone know of a way in which the village could use thefibreoptic cable to improve everyones broadband connection. CheaplyMany thanks Henry
