    Well? 1Mb is just not enough, but we also need a large (relatively, so 50GB+) and decent latency. Do we have any choices?

    Not a lot really. If you're in an area which can only get 1mb broadband, then I'm assuming you're in the countryside somewhere. in which case, theres not many options. In fact, if you can't get cable, the only other alternatives would be fixed wireless BB or mobile midband.

    Hmm, considering Digiweb Metro now. If it's available in my area it would definitely be worth it. Very little reports of bad latency and it would certainly be faster.

    Yeah Digiweb seems best then. It says I can get UPC but I know for a fact that I can't (main village can though, but it's about 1km away).

    Damn, definitely need line of sight to the mast and I don't even know if the mast has the right equipment for Digiweb Metro :(

    Might be waiting a few months until UPC (hopefully) arrives in my area.

    Now that I think about it I'm not sure if we have LOS to the mast or not, hopefully we do.

    Yay, we have line of sight(just)! I just hope the equipment is installed on the mast.
