It appears the passport to ultra-fast broadband in the home could be tucked away inside your nearest lamppost.
In one of the most bizarre stories i have stumbled across in a while, a British start-up, Last Mile Communications, is hoping to revolutionise Wi-Fi telecoms by placing wireless transceivers inside lampposts and other street signs.
These will then deliver low-power wireless signals to nearby homes and businesses.
The exciting bit is that the company claims the system offers extremely high bandwidth and that realistically it can deliver download data speeds of up to 40mbps to each user. That’s around 80 times quicker than standard 512kbps broadband in the UK.
