Current plans for connecting Colton Parish
Jan 13, 2014The guidance we currently have is that, as previously announced, 70% of the properties in the Parish will end up with SFBB (24 Mb/s or above).
The main areas where coverage is likely to be less than 24Mb/s (but over the guaranteed minimum 2Mb/s) under current arrangements are properties in the Nibthwaite, Ickenthwaite and Rusland areas. It’s not yet possible to say how many of the properties in these areas will get a slower than SFBB connection but one that will still be perfectly acceptable and a vast improvement on the current arrangements. This could all change for the better as new technology is employed and as the arrangements are clarified for the adjacent areas of Blawith and Satterthwaite.
The main clusters of properties outside these areas are likely to end up with a SFBB connection, although for some isolated properties outside these areas, the speed may well drop below 24Mb/s.
