Looks like it is Richard Burden, same as mine. He's already aware of a number of issues with broadband in the constituency, worth getting in touch to add your site to his list!

Contact EE again and tell them that your speed is significantly slower than your line should handle and tell them you should be getting a minimum of 2.5mbps (according to the BT Wholesale checker)

Given that premises in B31 3EE can get Virgin Media with no hassle, and the Virgin checker almost thinks that the single address (?) in B31 3DP can get cable I think it is less a case of chase BT, but get onto Virgin Media.

Mini not-spots in the middle of virgin areas are very difficult to justify in terms of a new FTTC box

Yes Andrew, I agree... I was told by someone at Birmingham's superfast project or program or whatever that funding for Kings Norton had been allocated to Virgin Media and since Virgin Media has been working on improving the network and expanded it to some premises around the area...

I'm almost sure that Virgin Media will do something if they are prodded enough, I know some of the new builds on this estate have Virgin Media already (but their fronts are on roads that had CATV in them already..

The estate that stood their before the new builds also had cable but probably dead and buried now.

I think with enough contact and maybe even some signatures and order guarantee's, Virgin will do something...

As far as FTTC goes, Kings Norton (CMKING) is not going to get it , due to the heavy existence of Cable, the only time Kings Norton has popped up in any FTTx document is when Wythall took some lines or a cabinet and put fibre in it using the BDUK CSW project.
