Subject: Broadband Speeds in Temple and the Superfast Berkshire
Initiative
Dear Sir:
I am a resident of Temple and am hoping that you can help us improve the state of our Internet connectivity with the assistance of Superfast Berkshire.
I am a resident of Temple and am hoping that you can help us improve the state of our Internet connectivity with the assistance of Superfast Berkshire.
I struggle to get 1.5-2Mpbs of download speeds
from my Internet connection.
This is truly poor performance and gets me a grade of “F” from
Speedtest.net (the de facto standard for Internet speed testing). At these speeds much of what
other people take for granted from the Internet, such as the ability to stream a
movie or to hold a Skype video call, become challenging if not impossible. This can also makes working from home
problematic. These factors are
also leading me to fear that our poor connectivity could have an impact on home
sales as Internet connection quality becomes an increasingly important
criterion for buyers.
My hope is that Phase II of the
Superfast Berkshire improvement program can help us. My understanding is that a decision will be made this
spring in regards to how best to invest the funds available. As you likely know, the first of
two stated aims for Superfast Berkshire is to “Ensure all Berkshire premises
could access basic broadband, at speeds of 2Mbps or faster”. The second aim is that “At least 90% of
Berkshire premises could access superfast broadband, at speeds of 24Mbps or
faster”. Temple is clearly
standing in the way of Superfast Berkshire achieving the first aim of the
program.
I hope that you will help to
support our campaign to see improvements implemented for the residents of Temple. In an ideal world we would be assigned a priority that would
see our situation addressed ahead of implementing a 24Mbps solution for an area
that is already better served than Temple!
Thank you in advance for anything
that you can do for us.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
