Devon Superfast Broadband - Not!

71% rise in profits as BT hails

broadband success. BT will also double the speed of superfast broadband to the

cabinet (FTTC) in 2012. All great news for Devon that has no FFTC (Fibre to the

Cabinet).

This Government has a target of a

UK minimum 2 Mbps for all by 2015.

Why are they so busy in providing superfast

and broadband improvement for those who already meet or exceed their miserable target?

Why are people who either can’t get the

internet via landline or broadband speeds little better than dial-up being left?

The Devon County Council area has no

superfast public broadband. They have now put in a hand holding bid. In an area

with zero, nothing – should they not be successful?

Since posting this story

earlier – the government have announced that the target of Superfast Broadband

for the UK by 2015 is 90% coverage (25 Mbps or more).  For the other 10% it will be a minimum of 2

Mbps. So now we know. BT Openreach, Virgin Media, Sky (All involved in current fibre

optic roll-out). Please get on with it. All Councils take an interest and play

your part.
