Sir, I am writing to add to the comments made by Richard Warwick on the state of rural broadband (Letters, The Oban Times, March 1).
My husband and I have recently resorted to getting satellite broadband, so fed up were we with what the telephone line provides. While it works, it is expensive (despite the grant available for installation), and we see it as a temporary measure until the Scottish Government delivers on its promise of 100 per cent coverage of fast broadband by 2021.
I don’t see this as an impressive promise. Rather it is very late delivery of what we should already have. In the UK, we are woefully behind other countries.
