It's been many years and it still amazes me what a shambles...

...things appear to be with respect to our broadband plans

I mean I'm sure the intentions are good but I just cannot get my head around the fact that it's taken years to get an expensive cabinet and fibre right away out to our village and after all that, it stops a few feet from some houses.

In fact on some roads some poor souls are not getting fibre AT ALL while neighbours either side do!

Please for heavens sake give us the technical answer for this? Is it really unreasonable to be amazed by this ? Help me understand

Green dots get fibre, blue dots don't, go figure

It's been ages but I heard a thing....

I heard that someone saw a BT van laying or looking at laying fibre to our village and that someone asked and the rumour is Fibre before Christmas!

Discuss!!!!

Mr Mark Francois

Now, i'm not a political man, and one party is about as good as another in my opinion, I am in league with none....except when it suits me of course ;-)

Mr Mark Francois (yes the man with the big blue conservative board right next to our fibre broadband cabinet that we are not connected to) has written to me today.

He says (and I quote)

"I have again written to Gavin Patterson, Chief Executive of BT to raise this matter with him once more....." (to ask if) "...South Fambridge can be included in the next phase of the rollout"

"I hope you may recieve a positive reply but if I am successfully re-elected, then I will be happy to persue this for you further..."

Now I know we all know that this is in order to secure my vote...right? Well sure, agreed. But then i suppose isn't that the point of electing someone, to get things that you need. There's no hiding it.

Am I conservative? I honestly don't know what that means any more. Do I want fast broadband and do I think its unfair we have so far been excluded? Yes. Can this man Mark do anything about it? Maybe. Maybe is better than No.

Well Mr Francois, you have been supportive of us so far election or not, and have always replied to me in writing, promptly and have done what you have said you would.

You got my vote chap
