“DOZENS more communities in Dorset are to benefit from the roll-out of superfast broadband.
More than 26 per cent of customers in the Superfast Dorset area have already chosen to take-up the service, triggering a “Gainshare” award under the terms of the contract with BT to be used to further extend the fibre roll-out.
More than 800 premises in 31 areas have just been added to the Superfast Dorset roll-out plans for next year as a result of the high take up and efficiencies in delivery, which together are worth more than £1million. …”
East Devon chose not to join a consortium to bring broadband to its rural areas, preferring to go it alone. It was turned down for grants because its bid duplicated the consortium bid.
If you are unhappy about this state of affairs, contact EDDC councillor Phil Twiss, the council’s rural broadband champion, who is the non-mover and non-shaker of this particular non-project:

In the past, Councillor Twiss has been quick to comment on this blog, we look forward to his comments on this topic.
