Basingstoke and Deane is recognised as a national "notspot" for broadband performance. Within the borough, Chineham suffers from the worst service (if you can even call it a service). Many Chineham users think they are doing well when their speed reaches 250 Kb/s! We, the undersigned, demand that our representatives at parliamentary, county and borough level, take urgent action to bring about improvements so that the many homeworkers as well as leisure users receive the level of service for which they are paying (and is anyway lamentably poor compared with most other economically powerful nations).

im still in talks with the local council office to figure out why our speeds are basically non-existent. its frustrating how long these things take but hearing all your stories about how hard it is to actually work from home keeps me pushing them on this.

seeing this take off like this is wild since i thought id be shouting into the void about these speeds alone. it feels like everyone here is just as fed up with the connection drops as i am.

Fed up with paying out a load of cash every month and getting frustration in return.

My connection drops like 5 times a day. How am I supposed to get any work done like this. Total joke.

Paying full price for a service that barely works is robbery. Sort it out.

SERIOUSLY. The signal is so weak in Chineham I cant even load my emails half the time. Ridiculous.
