Rural Broadband Options – What’s Available?
Just a decade ago the average time spent online per day by any one person was 46 minutes, now it’s a staggering 4 hours (or half of the average working day!). Facebook has 900 million members (300 times bigger than Friendster was in 2002), the average time to download a song has decreased from 13 minutes to 18 seconds, and the devices we used primarily for texting and phone calls have evolved into mini computers giving us internet access almost anywhere.
However, for many people developments in speed and accessibility are still hanging about in 2002. You may think it only applies to less fortunate areas of the world too, but what if I told you it was happening on your own doorstep?
The gap between cities and rural areas continues to grow when it comes to online access.

Take a look around your home; I bet it’s littered with dozens of electrical appliances – from the home computer, and the laptop, to the landline phone and your mobile phone. And, it seems that on a day-to-day basis, that we don’t hold a second thought for these items. Why? Because, quite simply, we take them for granted. Until they break down, that is…
We all know that technological items have a high chance of breaking down, whether it be that the home PC starts to overheat, or that your laptop charger decides it doesn’t want to charge – but it’s when they decide to stop working that it can often cause havoc in a household. But, I’m not just talking about in terms of leaving you unable to check your emails, or not being able to surf the Internet, here. Because, when these everyday technological electrical appliances start to get problems, they can lead to far bigger problems – such as electrical faults, which could potentially lead to fires.
And, as I’m sure we’d all like to make sure we stay as safe from problems such as these as possible, here are a few ways you can do so.

Is the cloud the best place to migrate when looking to replace existing and aging, in-house IT infrastructure? Unequivocally the answer to that question is yes! But for those who remain sceptics, let’s explain why…
