Hi everyone
I need some information in advance of my impending move to the Caithness area and wondered if you could help.
At present I work from home on the Internet and my supplier is Virgin Media for both Broadband and Mobile.
I have been told that Virgin is not available in Caithness so was wondering the best way forward.
Sorry for the blunt questions but is not clear to me when I have searched google;
I will be looking for a decent TV package - Sky or BT not bothered, are these easily available?
A mobile data package, mainly for emergency hot spots and stuff not necessarily using it for calls.
Internet provider - I use this everyday but dont need it for streaming, just browsing pages etc... Reliability over speed.
Many thanks

Sky or BT both available for TV. Also for internet along with many others. In my experience internet reliability is similar across most providers - they're all serviced by openreach - but customer service varies.
For mobile phone reception can you specify where you will be living, mobile coverage and 4G in particular vary quite a lot throughout the county.

SKY TV is satellite dish and works immaterial of location of up here.
BT is via freeview (can be iffy) and via fast internet connection
fast mobile Broadband is quite limited particularly when you moved outside of local villages and populated areas. best then is 2G if anything
as for fast fibre broadband for the home , your best bet is to goto

you'll see if fast fibre is available where you intend to move too.
outside of fibre areas you'll do good to get anything better than 2MBPS which is all but useless for home business/TV use.
