Connecting Shropshire - March update

view this in browser

Market Intelligence Review launched:

Shropshire Council remains committed to its aspiration of enabling access to superfast broadband (30mbps) across the Council area where the broadband infrastructure market is failing to provide it.

So that we can better understand current and planned (next three years) coverage of broadband infrastructure, we’ve launched a Market Intelligence Review (MIR). The Review asks broadband infrastructure suppliers to provide premise-level information by the end of March 2020.

We will use the information to publish anonymised maps to show the availability of current and planned broadband infrastructure, and provide an update to our 2017 Coverage Map, see: http://connectingshropshire.co.uk/broadband-coverage-map/

How to check superfast broadband (30mbps) availability:

Most people in the Shropshire Council area can access a superfast broadband connection from one or more of the existing broadband infrastructure networks. If your broadband speed is not as quick as you’d like, you may need to switch networks to get a faster connection. The following page on our website, http://connectingshropshire.co.uk/when-and-where/, provides information about the six main broadband infrastructure networks in Shropshire and gives information about how to check coverage.

If you can’t access superfast broadband (30mbps), let us know

Once you’ve checked what broadband infrastructure and speeds are available to you, if you don’t think you can access a superfast broadband connection of 30mbps, please let us know. We can use this local intelligence to sense-check what the broadband infrastructure providers are telling us in the Market Intelligence Review.

Any questions?

If you have any broadband-related queries, please email Connecting Shropshire (connecting.shropshire@shropshire.gov.uk) with your question and your address and landline number (if you have one).
