I cannot understand why we do not utilise micowave transmitters to distribute internet sigals in the UK like the do in Spain.
Our house there has a small "squarial" type receiver on the roof pointing to a transmitter and I get 2mbit up and down constantly.More than enough for most things we need to do.

Also years ago when I moved into a new estate in Bracknell it was cabled by Diamond Cable, but in the center of the estate we had a satellite downlink to receive the signal and then it was piped to each house in the normal way.

Seemed sensible to me.
