Broadband speeds in Upchurch

Many Villages are being left behind now.
Recently The Parish Council printed a report about the appalling Broadband speeds in Upchurch and asking for feedback. I contacted both the Parish Council and our MP Gordon Henderson afterwards as I feel strongly that we are getting left behind in upgrading. I heard back from Mr. Henderson that there is to be a meeting on the 6th Sept between MP's and BT representatives to discuss the need for an improved broadband connection in Kent villages and wondered if you could put an appeal for people to email the Parish Council and/or their MP complaining about the service here.

The more people who make contact the more weight it will give to those representing us. The broadband connection really is dreadful here and everyone I speak to is complaining about the speeds going down over the past few months and suffering frequent drop outs. Nothing can be done because the lines are overstretched and ancient. I know for a fact that many people are having to buy dongles just to keep some sort of connection going. We have businesses here and how they manage I cant imagine. This is 2011 after all - not the dark ages!

Thanks for your help. I would be grateful - if you decide to put an appeal - that you don't mention my name - as I might be inundated!!

Regards
Carole Griffith-Jones
