How do I find out when broadband is coming to my area?


[link to this post] 		 
Hi!

I'm trying to find out when my local exchange (Plaistow) is due to be upgraded (or whatever the terminology is!) for broadband .... any help gratefully received!

I know we can get Kijoma but I want to find out about the rest! Sure I read somewhere that it'd be the beginning of 2011 but can't find that now!

Thanks!

Bit in there saying BT have decided it's not suitable for ADSL upgrade frown

Who has said that?

The USC now has a date of 2015, and that is probably just a 2Meg level, which the wireless provider, or a satellite service can provide.

180 lines on exchange, so at best 100 ADSL customers. Perhaps £1000 a month of revenue to who ever enables the exchange, £12,000 a year.If hte cost of the upgrade was is £50,000 thats a long time to pay it off, if it costs more then even less attractive.

In reply to a post by xfhwx:
(Plaistow)


As in Near Loxwood, West Sussex?

As that exchange serves 180 homes and 5 businesses, its far too small for any money to be spent on it. I'm surprised an exchange that small still exists.

Doesn't look like anything but Kijorma:

Samknows has no proposed dates for Plaistow, maybe someone else on the forum can find out more.

No proposeed ADSL dates, thats because BT as far as I am aware have no dates to enable the exchange.

I would approach the Equine Centre and see what's involved in getting what they have "a mesh box" and see if it's economically viable for you!
