To all users of the Internet in our area, here is a bit of news that should give us something to smile about! It was announced earlier in the week by BT that the Cumbernauld Exchange is scheduled to get FTTC during 2012 Media Release (June 14 2011 14:13) "71,000 More Scottish Homes and Businesses Set for Super-fast Broadband BT today announced that another 71,000 homes and businesses in Scotland will have access to its super-fast broadband network. The company also revealed that five million premises across the UK will be able to get the high-speed technology by the end of this month. For the first time, exchange areas outside the central belt are included in the investment programme, with two locations in the North East and one in the Highlands set for super-fast upgrades. Aberdeen’s Ashgrove and Denburn exchange areas, Nairn, Cumbernauld, Inverkeithing and Glasgow Scotstoun are the latest places set to benefit from BT’s £2.5 billion roll-out, with upgrades expected to be completed either near the end of 2011 or in 2012. It will take the number of Scottish homes and businesses passed by the new super-fast network to more than 286,000".Full Story (Click Here) Obviously this subject has been high on our Community Council agenda for several years now and we have written letters etc to the government department that was responsible, so maybe we have indeed managed to exert some influence to get this service upgrade. |
