Three or four times as much? Should be nowhere near that, it cost me less than £10 a month extra to go from 3Mbps to 70 (I'm about 450m from the cabinet). Mind you, I don't know what you're paying at the moment. Sorry, this is all getting rather OT and probably shouldn't be continued here.

My utility pole is in the E corner of the garden and far enough away not to be a problem.
It supplies electricity & Talk Talk telecom service. The telephone bit is a tad cheaper than BT (Though I do get the occasional spoofed spam call prefixed 00...........) The broadband bit, paid a year in advance, costs less than £4 a month.
Given TT's reputation, I was taking a bit of a chance switching from Plus net. However I'm getting 4 - 5 Mbs and there have only been a couple of busy weekend afternoons when the service jammed up. Normally it performs to spec. even when watching TV or Skype.
It is a bit like choosing to use the old rail line now that HS1, offering less than an hour from Kent to London, has freed up seats on the existing lines.

Samknows, for whom I run a government sponsored monitoring box, suggests that going for fibre to the cabinet, won't produce an impressive increase in speed.

Much better.....might hit PVGIS-classic today:)

I need 59.4 kWh to meet PVGIS............. cannot see it happening

Wel, there we have it, a dreadful day to end a dreadful month - only 0.61kWh today.

October total: 87.61kWh
SAF PVGIS: 128kWh (-31.6%)
Classic PVGIS: 113kWh (-22.5%)

October 2012: 99.22kWh
October 2011: 147.91kWh

Best day: 7th, 7.52kWh
Worst day: 13th, 0.34kWh

Would have got a bit more if I'd tackled that tree earlier.

Not thrilling here either though we have had quite a few sunny spells this week.

October total: 173.94 kWh
PVGIS: 197 kWh
So 23% short of expectations

October 2011: 246 (25% excess)
October 2012: 230 (17% excess)

System: M1 ESE 3.58kWp

Total generation: 157kWh (2012 166kWh)

Generation per kWp: 43.85kWh


System: M2 WNW 2.0kWp

Total generation: 67.7kWh (2012 60.5kWh)

Generation per kWp: 33.85kWh

Silly facts:
1. Total house PV 99% of PVGIS target for Oct. ESE 97%, WNW 104%.
2. Total gen for year only 31kWh short of annual target (PVGIS with no deduction despite shading issues)

Well I managed 187kWh between my 2 systems. The steeper(45deg) SSW now taking over the ESE for generation by 97-90kWh. My "expected" totals were 207 in climate so i'm not too disappointed.

I've also imported 336kWh this month which works out about £40 compared to about £90ish made from generation.

All in all I must say i'm still quite pleased:D
