If amplification is needed this can be done in a building the size of a shed or even in street cabinets.

All good.
Thanks, good solid facts as ever. Raises a question though, why do they have so many hubsites now then if they can serve 160km? In my area for instance they've got one in Bromborough which seems to serve about 10 miles on every direction and then also some kind of smaller switching site in Birkenhead a few miles down the road.

I'm assuming they've also got a few in Liverpool and Warrington.
