You can (I'm fairly sure) get a longer antenna which may help a little, and I THINK you can get a 'relay' device which in effect sends on the signal (can't quite recall ever seeing one of these for a router though!)....................the only other option is a repositioning of the base location ?Good luck,S
The big issue for me on PV/Solar is the long term lack of return on the initial investment of (say) 20,000 euros for a 3Kw feed. I have a 6.6Kw Enel feed to my house(4 bed with pool), my actual Enel costs are running at about 1200 euros per year. Even without interest on any loan (if you needed one), it would take me some 17 years to spend 20,000 with Enel!Alongside all this is the fact that I get double the feed, there SURELY will be some issues with the PV/Solar installation in the 17 year period I assume, but then, on the other hand Enel prices could(will) go up.If governments are so keen on us saving energy or harnessing new energies, why don't they make it MUCH more financially viable for us all? S
My understanding is that you are correct on all fronts.................crackers I know!The thing is £500 notes for three weeks is not THAT bad (relatively speaking) cos I assume it includes insurance and all that roadworthiness and all that?..........You could possibly get it cheaper at a local garage (probably thougha n old car?)...............pop along and have a chat with them, expain your situation.................something for you, something for them eh ?Good luck!S
ADSL is your likely solution, it seems to be all over the place and growing................last time I looked at satellites it was ' give us your bank account'!!Italy is progressing even in the sticks !
I assume that's a bit of welsh language !! Ha!

The problem here is Le Marche...................beautiful as it is here it is likely to be too near to the edge of the 'footprint' me thinks....................the 'goconnect' org in Cyprus http://www.getconnected.com.cy/ that someone else has mentioned is the 'probable' solution(with broadband)..................If anyone has tried the freesat box in Le Marche can I come and see it working please?!!
