Winter and the internet

My internet connection has been almost non existent again and when I do get it,the signal is so slow I can not do a post,hence my lack of blog posts.
I am so fed up with my providers lack of PROVIDING a usable broadband service I am changing to a satellite provider.

Living in rural Ireland, broadband through the telephone line was the only available option,then came companies that offered broadband from masts erected in various places around the country but we are under the mountain and can not get the signal-- we have tried them all to no avail.!! Recently a company is offering a  satellite  service that guarantees internet access anywhere in Ireland so I have signed up for it.
They are coming to install it next week so hopefully I will have super fast broadband and more monthly allowance than I have at the moment.It is quite expensive,but I am getting a phone service from them as well which gives me free local.national and UK calls and no line rental,so I will save loads with that.
I will let you know how I get on with it.!!

We had our first snow fall earlier in the week,it did not last long thank goodness but the mountains did look pretty for a little while. This time last year we were snowed in and could not get out for two weeks.
