Expanding high-speed broadband in Brighton and Hove (From The Argus)

And as usual the West of the city is left behind

And guess what?

So finally Kemptown has it on their exchange (FTTP - fibre to the premise), however BT has been announcing that Fibre (but only FTTC - fibre to the cabinet - on your street) is coming to the Hove Exchange for around 18 months now and all that happens is when the supposed "availability" date is reached, they simply put it back another few months!

I have watched them do this on 4 or more occasions now on their website, shockingly bad customer service as we have been looking to get Fibre.

I wouldn't wait on BT anymore, just go for Virgin cable if you can get it on your street.

As for Kitkat, typical Green, jump on the bandwagon and crow about it being good for business while simultaneously having ruined businesses with their inane parking charges policy and utter hatred of car drivers, and then the Green MP signing the petition to save the 7 dials tree when it was a Green party plan to chop it down! Hypocritical?

Can't wait for the next local election, I can't wait to see these utter numpties OUT.

The Broadband connection in this part of town works just fi...

...ne.

*bzzzzzz*

We've got it, and it's crap - really fast when it works, but keeps dropping out on all our devices. BT say there's nothing wrong, from somewhere in India. BT's customer service sucks.

Yeah band wagon jumpers. It is not as if our Green MP ever raised the issue of improving B&Hs broadband in the House of Commons or started a campaign to raise the priority of improving internet speed in B&H is it?

If you read the Argus archive you will find plenty of articles about the "bandwagon jumpers" actually starting off the bandwagon!

Of course, others may have a different view as to her relative importance in gaining Brighton faster broadband services. Just do a bit of research. For example:

"Osborne also told parliament in his budget speech the £50m smaller cities fund was agreed after lobbying from Brighton Kemptown MP Simon Kirby." (The Guardian, 21/03/12).

Just had to switch out of BT broadband infinity. It was as slow as a snail and kept on dropping. I've never had this problem with another provider. Their service has proved to be expensive and poor.

That may be true but mustaphaLeeko is dead right about Jason Kitkat and the Greens hating businesses and jobs.

The damage they have done has created nationally bad publicity for the City and created terrible issues for all types of businesses with their expensive and loony anti-parking/car policies.

And the East. Who is getting the high speed? Try the BT website and they cannot say what their plans are for increasing the broadband speed. It is just a case of registering and they will tell us when it has arrived.

i couldnt agree with you more!! time for davey to tender hes resignation over the lack of snow ploughs last night!! pack your bike and **** off back to brussels

We have had this for a month now. Our speed was approx 1 and is supposedly now 34. Havnt noticed any difference whatsoever. Its still so very slow. The only difference is that it costs a whole lot more. Not worth it. But once youve got it its too late. You still have to pay!
