| Actually the numbers i've seen quote 238 sq.km and here where we live it IS closer to 110/sq.km. We live in the central part of Brittany, France and it is quite sparsely isolated. But when i chose Orange for our ISP i was given the choice of line speeds up to 24MB/sec. if my pockets were deep enough (they arn't) but the service is exceptional compared with what we had in london with pipex and demon.co.uk. i am siper impressed with the availability here in rural areas. Yes, we are in a small city with many schools so that may be the reason. i known several of our friends live just outside the borders of thsi town and they only have 56k dial-up service. Guess the telco. infra-structure has not caught up with them yet. But i bet it will soon. 8-) |
