insufficient internet speeds removing the ability to work from home (and as there is zero decent public transport to get around, it only adds to the insult).

The current broadband in the area is ridiculous slow and needs to improve otherwise this will be damaging to local businesses like myself. I hope this gets highest priority. Regards, Ben

Ridiculous in this day and agebin a developed society we don't all have access to fibre speeds. Friends in America and Israel can't believe it. We live on a road which has several businesses and we pay ridiculous rates so not happy

Where is the money going that BT takes from the Goverment (..more accurately us taxpayers)? BT is certailny not delivering !!! [Source - https://www.homeandwork.openreach.co.uk/fibre-broadband/rural-broadband.aspx] The Government, through Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), initially set aside £530 million of public funding to help BDUK reach 90 per cent of premises by 2016. Each local authority evaluated bidders (during the procurement stage) before awarding the contracts. The Superfast Extension Programme (SEP) represents a further £250 million investment to extend Superfast Broadband to 95 per cent of the UK by the end of 2017.

We can't get BT Infinity at our address despite there being a fiber box 40 yards from our house. Openreach are a joke!

Too far from nearest exchange, 1.5mb download 0.7 upload. Tried to run a business for this address and it was impossible. There are closer exchanges but I'm. It connected to them. Badly managed. Extra special attention needs to be given to rural networks that maximise service potential.
