My provider is BT but Virgin run a cable service which ends about 400m from my address which I find very frustrating

Sky and BT will not be used by this community and its inhabitants will be put to extra costs due to the inability to identify the Hathern station as a priority for upgrading.

Nice place to live, but lack of TV and broadband make it a nightmare!

]]> Sat, 9 Mar 2013 03:11:25 UTC 14856932 Mr Anonymous [Signature #53] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14856607?utm_medium=rss Broadband in the North end of Loughborough is poor. Download sppeds are usually around 1.5 M. We have been told that we will never get fibre broadband without the council helping. My house therefore has been de-valued.

Yet only a max 2mb broadband is available currently here. It seems amazing as my house is only 6 years old!!

Now I get 2Mb on a good day. Why is Loughborough lagging behind???

That seems more than slightly unfair and a little absurd for a newly developed area!

]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:03:24 UTC 14776031 Mr Robert Bellamy [Signature #43] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14775260?utm_medium=rss Wed, 27 Feb 2013 04:00:41 UTC 14775260 Mr Anonymous [Signature #42] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14746420?utm_medium=rss Our internet provider promised higher download speeds & for a while we had 2.5MBps - but now its steadily dropping away (1.7MBps today).

]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:11:40 UTC 14746420 Mr Richard Fairgrieve [Signature #41] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14743682?utm_medium=rss Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:14:36 UTC 14743682 Dr Roger Knott [Signature #40] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14741325?utm_medium=rss Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:49:52 UTC 14741325 Dr Sergey Saveliev [Signature #39] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14705232?utm_medium=rss The broadband speeds in my area are disappointingly slow, rarely exceeding 300kbps. This is in stark contrast to the centre of Loughborough, where speeds of several Mbps are available. It is clear that action is required to resolve this issue for the residents in this area of Loughborough.

It is completely unacceptable, and desperately needs upgrading.

It is truly abysmal, and urgently needs upgrading.

and that's before my children and partner log on as well.

Not great, especially when working at home and paying a decent monthly payment for a service.

We had faster Broadband speed 20 years ago and if I had known beforehand I would not have lived in this area.
There are also many students and professional people and young families who live in the area who are at such a disadvantage.
As well as BT upgrading to Infinity we should also have the competative option of Cable.
There are so many things I would like to do with my very efficient and modern PC like keeping in touch with my sister in Egypt with Skype video link, watching movies and downloading music and video but it is impossible.
It is a greater priority to upgrade areas with very limited Broadband speed than City Centre areas being upgraded as they can achieve a sufficient speed already.

Maynard Close speeds vary from 0.5mb-4mbs (if your very lucky). FTTC will offer speeds of upto 80mb/s. Lets stop the digital divide right here.

No alternative broadband due to no Virgin cable laid in the area.

When we first moved in we didn't get 1mb let alone the country standard of 2mb. I am resonsible for the IT within my company and have to be able to connect with my office whenever I need to, but on this connection I find it very laborius. Why is the estate connected to Harthern exchange when it's closer to the Loughborough Exchange which has a higher rating for the internet. We live in a town with an extremley good University, a Technology centre, and some large companies, why have we got such a poor internet connection?
thank you Simon
