Full-fibre gigabit broadband arrived in Spaldwick in August 2021, completing our 18-year broadband journey to better broadband. For information or help with your broadband, please contact Jason Patel. His email is me@jasonpatel.co.uk.
We were one of the first rural villages in the UK to get standard ADSL broadband, in July 2004, following a successful local demand registration scheme. Following a subsequent local village registration campaign, Spaldwick was one of the first rural villages in the UK to get ‘superfast’ fibre broadband, and received significant national attention, including a visit by the UK’s Broadband Minister. Fibre broadband was switched on in July 2014, and take-up in the village quickly exceeded 80% – with one of the highest take-ups in Cambridgeshire and the UK. The ultimate broadband technology – called Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) – arrived in August 2021. It offers improved reliability and now offers download speeds of up 1600 Mbps for every home in Spaldwick.
