BROADBAND UPDATE
- A new twist - suddenly no more Trigger Levels
The
subject of BROADBAND in the area continues to be a major talking
point! The latest development is BT suddenly suspending
the 'trigger level' scheme - which had ALMOST been
reached within Craven Arms. They have now issued the latest
statement saying:
"BT presses broadband accelerator
UK to have near universal broadband coverage
by summer 2005"
What this does mean for certain is that we will no longer be asking
you to fill in the online form and register your interest in Broadband.
We would however like to take this opportunity to thank all those
who supported our Broadband campaign and those who did register
with us.
We hope we will all be able to enjoy Broadband access
very soon!
