Hi all,
This is my first post so I hope I have the correct forum.
I suspect that I am on an EO Line and whilst searching for info I discovered the following e-petition
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Superfast broadband should be made available to Exchange Only lines
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/46540
Text of the petition as follows
During the current Fibre "superfast" broadband rollout many properties are being excluded because they are not connected to a roadside cabinet. When these properties were originally connected to their local telephone exchange, cabinets were not in standard use. So while some properties are physically metres away from an exchange they cannot receive the superfast broadband of their neighbours properties connected to a later installed cabinet.
Current regulations say that the new superfast technology must be installed outside exchanges in cabinets. Therefore new cabinets should be installed outside existing exchanges (to comply with current regs.). Or the regulations changed.
Currently the public money being spent on these projects is done so without public consultation. Homeowners and businesses cannot interact with the organisers implementing the projects to ensure fair distribution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are currently (3rd July 2013) only 16 names on the petition which is well short of the 100,000 target required for possible debate in the House of Commons.
Please sign/share the petition which closes in March 2014.
Thanks in advance.
Dave
