Colton Superfast Broadband Why it's important and how we can get it......Mike Postle (mike@mpo1.uk)

100 times the speed – Come and check it out!

Regular readers of this blog will know that phase 1 of the Connecting Cumbria project is beginning to make inroads into our area bringing fibre to the nearest cabinet and letting the existing copper wires take fast (hopefully superfast – 24 Mb/s or above) broadband to our premises. Not everyone will get the service this way and phase 2 is looking to other commercial suppliers and other technologies – notably radio technologies - to fill in the gaps.

 

We have an opportunity to check out this new radio technology with Ted Walsh of WMY Systems Ltd on Saturday afternoon April 18th (2 till 5 pm) at Colton Church Hall. There will be a WiFi signal which should deliver round about 130 Mb/s – 100 times the speed I often get. So bring your smart phone, iPad or lap top any time during the afternoon and find out what you can do with this sort of speed. It’s an ideal opportunity to get together, have a chat and explore what the new technology will allow us to do. Hope to see you there.   

 

Please let your friends know about this opportunity – the more the merrier!
