As a major sponsor of the Olympic Games, BT will install a high capacity and high resilience broadband connection to Portland for 2012. It will upgrade exchanges in Weymouth and Portland as part of the work. The BT work would bring broadband speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) for the sailing races in 2012. But businesses and consumers in Dorset – particularly Weymouth and Portland – must demonstrate to BT that there is the demand to keep the broadband running after the games. So sign this petition to help keep this high-speed internet connection!
I am currently talking to local business owners about how this infrastructure impacts their daily operations. The feedback is clear that we cannot afford to lose this connection once the games end.

Living in Weymouth means we already deal with slow speeds compared to the rest of the country. Keeping this infrastructure is a no brainer for local businesses.

Ridiculous to think they would pull the plug right after the games. Keep the upgrade for the locals.
