Default Indoor FM boost with no cables?

have wifi, that will eliminate your noise problem.


I get capped at 10GB per month, and that costs far too much. If I saw the
costs of the bandwidth to do this I might scream loud enough that even my
neighbours might have a noise problem. Besides, good FM totally beats all
internet quality. Radio 3's best HD sound falls well short, equivalent to a
192 kbps MP3 at best, from what I have read and heard about it. FM in the UK
is extremely good quality, nothing else has been any better yet. Which is
probably why obituary after obituary gets written for broadcast FM radio, btu
it never dies, the 'swicth-off date' is forver being set back, and it likely
won't happen once peoplerealise the costs of allocating bandwidth foe that
kind of quality ona per-person basis! That's a mind-stunning financial and
technical calculation no matter how we look at it.
