Expanding the 93% - Some practical steps you could take now
Sep 26, 2013As we’ve remarked before, the target coverage of Superfast Broadband (SSBB) in Cumbria is 93%. The rural nature of our Parish means that this planned coverage drops to 70%.
So how to get the best deal? According to Connecting Cumbria, if we can stimulate the demand for SSBB, then we could end up with more properties being connected. You can do this by:
- Registering with BT Openreach: www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/expression-gen.aspx
- Registering with Connecting Cumbria www.connectingcumbria.org.uk/when-and-where
- Encourage your neighbours to do the same. (Or do it for them if they have no connection)
- If you run a business, sign up for ‘free’ (well we’ve paid for it via taxes and the EU) business advice from Big Cumbria on how you could put SFBB to good use developing your business. www.bigcumbria.com/register
