It has launched a new online registration process to assess demand, which will prioritise where the money will go. This is our chance! Please fill in the online survey at the website below. There is absolutely no obligation.

Some excellent news on the broadband front. We understand that Talk Talk plans to launch unbundled broadband services from the Woolley exchange, with a planned launch date of 19th December 2011. This is great news for two reasons:

• Talk Talk will use the more advanced ADSL2+ technology rather than the older ADSL technology currently used by BT. This will provide significantly increased speeds for most users.
• Prices will be substantially lower than BT-based broadband services. For example, Talk Talk currently offers a combination of broadband (with a 40GB allowance) and telephone (with unlimited evening and weekend calls) for a total of £17.05 per month, which includes the line rental.

There are also a number of ISPs that will offer broadband services using the Talk Talk network, such as Xilo, and these will be cheaper than their BT-based services. More information (such as a comparison of all available services and pricing) will be provided as we get closer to the launch date.

Cambridgeshire County Council has recently announced plans for investment in superfast broadband across Cambridgeshire.  Alongside £6.75 million Broadband Delivery UK funding, Cambridgeshire County Council agreed at a cabinet meeting on August 15th 2011 to invest up to £20 million to enable the roll-out of superfast broadband into areas within Cambridgeshire not covered by BT superfast broadband investment plans.

Today, there was an interesting announcement by Fujitsu, which could affect Spaldwick. Fujitsu announced its intention to roll out a superfast fibre-optic broadband network that could reach five million homes in rural areas of the UK.
