The idea
Hi Everyone
In the new development "The Realm" in Fitzwilliam West Yorkshire, we have between 2-6Mbps Broadband. We are not part of the big BT Openreach fibre rollout (the government plan to fibre 95% of the UK by 2020) because 2Mbps is considered adequate. For people like myself who work from home a lot we rely heavily on the internet. 2Mbps does not cut it for me or, I suspect, many others. It's quite embarrassing when you drop off a Skype conference call or lag so badly no one can understand you, or it takes half hour to upload a document. Not to mention how annoying trying to stream a video is when it buffers every minute
New fibre broadband will also be beneficial for:
- Education (homework, coursework etc...)
- Entrepreneur's
- Raising the value of houses in the development
Once BT Openreach have completed the project we'll have a new fibre cabinet and all the other service providers we currently have access to will be available with new super fast fibre speeds.
What we'll deliver
- A BT community Fibre Partnership
Why it's a great idea
I am really passionate about getting the broadband speed I need for my work and leisure, and I want to get as many people in the area on board as possible, as this will benefit all of us, we need £4780 to take this forward with BT. Theres over 150 properties on the development so I beleive this can realistically be acheived.
Thank you.
Steps to get it done
- Raise £2390 to Initiate the contract with BT Openreach and have them start work
- Raise the next £2390 to be paid upon the successful completion of the installation (Aprox. 1 year from Milestone 1)
