MINSTEAD SUPERFAST BROADBAND
We have heard that some residents may have have been sold Superfast Broadband without a suitable connection being available, and their resultant internet connection is worse or completely broken. If you are presently receiving 2-3Mb or less on the old ADSL connection it is unlikely that the present Superfast provision will benefit you.
Remember that you must be within approximately 1.2km cable length from the active Superfast cabinet and return a positive benefit in this test, using the FTTC Range B result.
Some providers have advised that if quoted FTTC speeds on that BT speed checker (link above) are less than 10Mb then do not upgrade as ADSL may still be better.
For those outside of FTTC range who require faster speeds we suggest 4G as probably the most effective current option. It is being used by 10+ residents already. See this article on the Minstead Village community website.
Waves 2/3 of the Superfast programme should reach many more residences but they are not expected to be implemented for some time yet.
