Latest update on Better Broadband for Norfolk In December 2012, Norfolk County Council and BT signed a deal that means around 80% of Norfolk premises will be able to access superfast broadband of 24mbps with all of Norfolk premises accessing speeds of 2mpbs. First services became available July this year. Work will continue in phases over the next couple of years.
What’s happened since the last update? More than 5,000 premises in Norfolk can now access high-speed internet services.
Parts of Baconsthorpe, Bayfield, Broome, Costessey, Cringleford, Ditchingham, Emneth, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Hempstead, Holt, Kings Lynn, Letheringsett, Little Thornage, Norwich, Old Buckenham, Scarning and Upper Sherringham now have better broadband services.
Parts of Attleborough, Besthorpe and Morley St Peter have better broadband services earlier than planned. In the first few months of 2014 parts of Bradfield, Downham Market, North Walsham, Norwich, Spa Common and Stow Bridge will be able to access the better broadband services.
So everything’s going well then? We’re making good progress, but a land ownership and technical issue has stopped us connecting some areas during the summer. When we have fixed this and revised a new date, we will update the website with the details.
Looking further ahead, what’s happening next? There will be new announcements every 2 months regarding new areas that are set – the next is due in December 2013.
