High speed broadband to remote villages
Posted by Ricky on Wednesday Apr 21, 2010 Under GeneralIn three tiny villages near Rutland, eleven residents have self funded their own high-speed broadband connection. Launched earlier this week, the villagers now receive 40Mbps broadband installed by Rutland Telecom at a cost of 37,000.
Of the three villages – Lyddington, Stoke Dry and Thorpe-by-Water just over half of the residents are connected.
