Telewest/NTL are currently installing fibre links from Plymouth to Newton
Abbott and Torquay, similar to the work it has already carried out in Exeter
and Plymouth (Evolved Ethernet they called it). These fibres provide links
for schools in the area, RM is involved - isn't it always!!!!.
I work installing said links :)

Subject: [LUG] Village Broadband
We are connected to broadband: BT supply at 1 Mb at the moment and ukfsn
are promising 2.5Mb once I change ISP in the near future (not 8 as we
are not close enough to the local box)
However I now discover that "the Government" has laid a fibre-optic
cable to the village edge. I believe with the intention of providing
"broadband" to the local primary school
Two questions
- Does anyone know where I could go to find out more about the
capacity of this school broadband, timing, budget etc?
- Does anyone know of a way in which the village could use the
fibreoptic cable to improve everyones broadband connection. Cheaply
Many thanks
Henry
