Meanwhile, up the road in Stamford in Lincolnshire there's a hive of construction activity as BT install streetside cabinets to provide "up to 40 Mbits/s" broadband over the phone line. These cabinets contain electronics that supply a VDSL signal over the copper phone line, the cabinets themselves are fed with fibre-optic connections so the length of copper in the circuit is reduced to that from your house to the cabinet, rather than the full distance from your house to the telephone exchange.
Customers within 500m of a cabinet should see the full service speed, currently 40 Mbits/s down and 10 Mbits/s up. Villages connected to the Stamford Exchange including Ryhall, Belmesthorpe and Uffington have also had cabinets installed, look out for small green cabinets on the roadside :-
