Not so fast

Calton is now back home and enjoying the benefits of broadband again after the struggles of posting from Glencoe yesterday on very-narrow-to-non-existent-band, which leads him to think that installing broadband in the Highlands would do much more for Highland businesses, and therefore employment, than installing windfarms. He is not alone in thinking this. There are plans to bring super-fast broadband to some areas of the Highlands, however it is not happening nearly fast enough to keep up with demand. Some may say that you go to the Highlands to get away from modern life but, increasingly, visitors expect not only good mobile phone coverage but also mobile internet. Calton is one of them, because how else can he keep his readers up-to-date when he is on one of his occasional forays up North?
