The distant building project has also created a few technical challenges.
The people from Openreach are just sorting out the manhole covers and wires so that providing an interim internet connection has required ingenuity.
I'm using a MiFi solution. This uses a Huawei black box, which takes a regular 4G SIMM card, finds a signal and then works as a hotspot. Easy-peasy to set up - the hardest part was finding out how to fit the SIMM card (RTFM).
It also has an ethernet connection, so I was able to hook it up to a Mac Time Capsule and then broadcast a nice strong secure Wifi signal as well as providing an across-the-wire ethernet link to the internet.
It's a bit pricey to use at around £10 per Gigabyte, but will do nicely until the regular broadband arrives.
