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

Coming to a postcode near you?

We’re a bit clearer now about the currently planned times scales for connecting parts of our Parish to Superfast Broadband – and it seems to be good news. Current planning indicates that the areas served by Satterthwaite, Greenodd and Newby Bridge exchanges are due to go live within the next 6 months with a target date of December this year.

You can now check the planned connectivity in your area by opening the appropriate page on the BT Openreach site http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/ and inputting your postcode. The Connecting Cumbria web site also links to BT Openreach postcode data but its mapping data is not up to date.

As always, there is a health warning! The information is subject to change as work takes place on the ground. Blocked ducts and other problems could see revisions of the current information.
