Blackbeard Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The MP's have their own views on the performance of BT when it comes to the implementation of HS broadband internet and their monopoly of the industry. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26819483 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Has anyone heard anything more about this £10 million pounds and what it could be spent on? I've tried various internet searches but haven't turned up any new information. Have the South Yorkshire councils agreed to it? Has the Government (BDUK) agreed to it? Will I be able to get fibre optic broadband anytime soon? I live in hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this BT-OpenReach site, Attercliffe nor Sheffield exchanges haven't even reached the evaluation stage! http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is true. I so hope it is true. Please be Sky. Please be Sky. Please be Sky. Or my 2nd choice would be BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could go to BT wholesale thus extending their network for all the isps on it (sky being one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikes10 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Businesses and residents who are connected to the Sheffield & Attercliffe exchanges need to lobby their MP to have pressure put on BT and get a timeline for the exchanges to be upgraded. https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/roles-who/mps.html#central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
