As of today (17th October 2016) residents of Haughley Green can order superfast fibre broadband. A new cabinet has been installed in the village and after six long years of promises we will finally be able to get a decent broadband service.
Many properties in the village cannot get landline based broadband at all and for others the speed is around 0.5mgb – barely enough to use email.
Local residents and councillors (myself and County Councillor, Andrew Stringer) have been campaigning for over six years fot this to happen. We have attended conferences, held public meetings, lobbied councils, door-stopped BT, asked questions of MPs, conducted surveys and finally worked with Suffolk County Council’s Better Broadband team to get a service for our area.
Thank you to everyone who has persevered.
I hear that Philip Stearn is delighted!
