FASTER BROADBAND UPDATE

As usual for the latest details do see the CSW project website at https://www.cswbroadband.org.uk/

To see what services are currently available at your number see the BT line checker http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/

Or the Virgin line checker https://www.virginmedia.com/shop/broadband.html

As a reminder “superfast” speed is defined as faster than 30 Mbps…Government targets use this as a target measure to attain

For property level information also check the LATEST MAP page on the CSW website, this shows either no symbol over a property which denotes superfast broadband may be available to you right now , or a variety of coloured symbols over properties………many in Temple Grafton for instance are blue stars which show that Contract 2 work is ongoing now with a completion date of December ’18, or yellow stars which denotes the properties are proposed for Contract 3 commencing Autumn ’18 and for completion by end ’19, a red pentagon over your property denotes it is in an area awaiting further funding before work can be planned.

Along with checking the map also see the property checker here https://www.cswbroadband.org.uk/your-area/check-your-property/

If you have any issues that you would like to air, then do feel free to email me , though I do not have any special knowledge other than that seen at the CSW website and the general press. I would always say contact your broadband service provider to get things investigated and/or fixed.
