Village is a Broadband black spot - Why?

According to a survey in the Daily Mail Newspaper, Hethersett is the fourth worst place in the country for Broadband speed.

That seems ridiculous as we are just six miles from Norwich and in the middle of a belt of high tech industries and also very close to Norfolk Police Headquarters, the University of East Anglia, the John Innes Institute, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and any number of other highly progressive research institutes. Many of the people working in those places live in Hethersett. The need for fast Broadband (or at least faster Broadband) is pretty obvious. So today I will be launching a campaign on my village web site at www.hethersett.org.uk for improved speed and for us to be brought into line with other parts of the country.

Just catching up on a bit of recorded TV early morning and in particular a programme about the beauties of Wales. It amused met, with all our modern technology and advanced camera work which brings us great nature programmes from throughout the world, that this programme involved a man wading into a river with a camera on a pole!

Tonight I'm off to see the Maccabees in concert at the University of East Anglia. Will let you know what I think about them tomorrow. Just hope they aren't too loud so that the lyrics are all but destroyed.
