For some parts of the parish glacial internet speeds are the biggest

bane of residents' lives, particularly for those running businesses.

Speeds of below 1- megabit are commonplace around the parish.

We are currently investigating how funds and expertise could be

secured to get superfast fibre broadband spread across the parish. A

pilot in The CamelValley is planned for 2018.

We are keen to gather data from other parts of the parish

experiencing poor broadband speeds. We are developing a map to

show which parts of the parish are served by which telephone

exchange. This might, in time, allow us to assist with the roll out of

high speed broadband across other ill-served parts of the parish.

One of the best broadband speed checkers can be found at

www.speedtest.net.uk   (there are others if you prefer)

Once on this site it will ask you to Begin test you  will need to record the speeds you typically receive at a) midday and b) at

7.00 p.m.

Please fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page with you results.

Poor broadband speeds are a national disgrace. Britain, boasting the

World's sixth largest economy, lies in 28th place in broadband

provision - so please take part in this embryonic attempt to do

something about the problem at a local level.

Thankyou for taking part in this survey, we will not pass on any imformation to third parties without your written permission.
