In the UK there is a lot of competition in the telecoms business but, in reality, most of the players rely on infrastructure owned and operated by one company - BT.

Urban customers benefit greatly from this competition and probably have the cheapest telecom services in Europe as a result. The emphasis of the providers is, understandably, areas of high population concentrations. The problem is that nowadays a lot of people living in rural areas need fast and reliable internet connections to do their jobs and run their businesses.

What do you do when you live in a remote area and the major internet providers have no plans to roll fast connections out to where you live?

In this episode Beeza describes how he found a solution and managed to get it implemented.
