Just heard that our small village on the North Norfolk Coast will be broadband enabled at the end of July this year. Yippee!
Which small village is it? Ted.
Northrepps, connected to the Overstrand exchange.
Thanks! I guess you benefit by being counted along with the population of Overstrand and from Overstrand's proximity to a few other places.
I was interested, as a point of comparison with my own remote location: Little Ouse (Brandon Bank on some maps), about 3 miles ENE of Littleport. The exchange is a brick hut at Brandon Creek, and I doubt it serves as many as 100 lines. Last time I looked, the register of ADSL interest for Brandon Creek exchange had climbed, breathlessly, to 9 ...
I feel wireless ought to be rolled out for the many subscribers scattered over the really sparse areas of the Fens, served by really tiny exchanges. The coverage of a single wireless point should be able to take in hundreds of these in one go. Mobile phones work OK!
Cheers, Ted.
