l can relate, going back 5 years my family and l always lived in the sticks, worked within the dairy industry (milking cows lol) until an unfortunate incident we had nothing to do with (the employer decided to accuse us of burglary of their on site farm shop and sack us "one day shy of a year" so we couldnt claim unfair dismissal, thats not even the beginning of the issues but l digress).
started on dialup myself, spent 6 years on it before somehow l managed to get ADSL (l was still in my teens back when the pre-reg scheme still ran, and l helped register pre-registrations.. tho l did it in a way l wasnt supposed to :/ l went through the phone book lol l was pretty desperate as everyone else l knew was on broadband), eventually got a 1meg connection which l thought was amazing then l mysteriously ended up with a 2meg upgrade for the price of 1, then got downgraded again when my ISP was bought out, still managed to blag it so l got my speed back without paying extra lol.
either way lve been through every version of ADSL now and l can tell you after being on fibre it will be painful if l have to go back lmao, hell back in 2007 l was on 6meg connection then moved in 08 and was forced back onto a 1meg connection and that was painful XD
