and sign-up today.
This is a huge project covering the whole of Berkshire. A large stumbling block to the project has been the state-aid rules from the EU. We expect those blocks to be lifted in the next few weeks, and I would expect the contract will be awarded early in the new year. The challenge we face is demand; and most importantly, showing that there is demand for "Superfast" Broadband via Fibre in this area.
What do we need?
We need to map out the current broadband speeds across the area and we need people to sign a "petition" that basically says - I live this area and I want fast broadband" It takes 2 minutes to sign up and there is absolutely no commitment to any particular contract or supplier. We need you to help spread the word. We need as many people as possible to sign up before the end of the January. The more people that sign up, the higher the demand looks, the more interest is expressed by residents, the faster we will all get Superfast Broadband.
