    Maybe consider a WISP service?
    We use Airband which gives around 30 Mbps most of the time

    The seller doesn't live in the area. They are one of those we buy any house type companies.
    I've checked on samknows and that says FTTC & FTTP should be available, all the compare sites say fiber should be available as does Ofcom but when I check with any of the ISP's all they will offer is copper broadband even though BT offered fiber & Halo 3 a couple of weeks ago.
    I just wondered if anyone had come across this before because we love the house but this feels like a deal breaker to me but I'm worried if I don't find a way around it then it might end up as a relationship breaker!!!   
    Yes, this happened to me.  SamKnows said that FTTC was available, and we knew FTTC was available from the sellers.  But when I tried to use the "move house" option with BT, they insisted that only copper ASDL was available.

    After I raised a complaint (for this and other issues), they identified an error in their IT system and corrected the upgrade to a fibre one.

    cooners here are a few options:
    1. get a new gf
    2. try 4g wi-fi, huawei router off fleabay £40 and a Smarty unlimited data sim card
    3. stop playing games and pay more attention to the current gf
    4. at least with no broadband the federation of copyright theft wont be on your case with your dodgy servers lol
