It that the same as the party line, press the button to get a line, dad's house when sold still had the GPO earth stake for the party line, in fact the guy who fitted the CU in 2004 connected it up as the main earth, around 4 mm² bare copper.Now or then?
If then the GPO who would most likely run a pair from each house into the local exchange and jumper them together.

As I understand it, it is the neighbour of the OP's friend who has the internet connection, and wants to share it with the OP's friend.Hang on a minute..... If you have the required fibre connection to you house and the route to the other location is through your garden then maybe the best solution is for you to grant a wayleave across your property for the fibre supplier to install a cable from their street cabinet to the location. That way your system is not affected and you could charge a rent for the wayleave
Big buisinesses tend to be based around their own bureaucratic rules and broadband is a relatively cheap mass-market service that is deployed on a bulk basis rather than an expensive custom service. Combine this with a gradual rollout and it's easy to find yourself in a situation where your neighbours section of the network has been "upgraded", but yours has not.The implication of what the OP has said is that the ISP is, for some reason. not prepared ("not able") to provide a fibre connection to his friend's house, but maybe they could be persuaded to by going through his friend's neighbour's property (with a wayleave).
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that earlier!Sounds like you need a wifi P-T-P connection.
If one needed repeaters to get 50mm range, I think there might be a problemIs the 50mm with repeaters which you pay for monthly !!!
We're the same, the internet comes from a dish on a hillside, we don't even have a phone line to the house. I think the speed is up to about 50mbps, provided by a local company.My internet connection is, and has been for many years, from a microwave dish on a nearby hill. A company was set up to provide that service to my, and surrounding, villages at a time when BT's (copper) cables could do little better than 0.5 Mbps. Subsequently, BT have brought an optical cable to the village and, more recently, Gigaclear have cabled our village. However, my ISP seems to be continuing to do fairly well (i.e. surviving!), with its microwave PTP system, I presume because many/most of their customers (virtually all private houses) find the service (8 -15 Mbps for some, up to about 32 Mbps for others) to be more than adequate for our needs.
Kind Regards, John
We at least do have a phoneline but, as I said, until recently it was copper all the way back to the exchange, hence of little use to man or beast. I seem to be in the middle of the two ranges which my ISP claims - I generally get 15-20 Mbps, which is more than enough for my needs.We're the same, the internet comes from a dish on a hillside, we don't even have a phone line to the house.
