Expressing interest

The local authorities running the superfast broadband projects would dearly like you to express your interest in receiving (and paying for) a superfast broadband service. In the case of Northamptonshire the objective is to deliver at least 30 Mbits/s downstream speeds using either BT or Fujitsu depending who wins the local tender via the BDUK Framework. There's a simple survey form to fill in to express your support for the Northants project - residents of Nassington and Yarwell please click here and fill it in !


Cambridgeshire and Peterborough City have combined forces with their "Connecting Cambridgeshire" initiative which has a new website. Their tender is an open competitive bid and at the time of writing I don't know who is in the running or what they are being asked to provide, though downstream speeds of at least 24M seem likely. If you live in Thornhaugh, Sibson, Sutton, Stibbington, Wansford south of the river and especially Wittering then please register your interest !

Northamptonshire's bid has been promoted to the BDUK "first wave" according to press reports, looks like good news.
