Keeping you informed

This is the fourth of an irregular series of updates from Broadband4Wroxton, to those who asked to be kept informed, if you no longer wish to receive this email then please mail me at adsl@broadband4wroxton.org.uk

Registrations

We seem to be stuck at 124

News from BT

As a precursor to revamping the website and another village leaflet distribution I ordered some new BT Wholesale campaign leaflets (branded “Get on and get it”).

I have just received the following email from BT:

Dear campaigner

Thanks for visiting the Get on and get it website.

We've noticed that you don't have a trigger level set for your exchange yet. This is to let you know that BT are reviewing your exchange area and we will contact you within the next two weeks to give you an update on whether a trigger level will be set for your exchange.  This is so that we can allocate our resources as effectively as possible.  Your order is being held until the trigger review has taken place.

The Get on and Get It campaign is in three layers, no trigger, trigger and run up to installation, we obviously fall between no trigger and trigger

Therefore in TWO weeks we will know if BT thinks it will be commercially viable to upgrade the Wroxton exchange.

Now is the time to check that your neighbours have voted for broadband, if they haven’t remind them that they don’t have to commit to anyone and they are only showing an interest for the future.

I have a supply of posters and leaflets if people are attending local events that can be used to publicise the campaign.

Alternatives

I will be attending various Broadband and wireless events in July and will report back with costings and details if BT say no.

Website

I am going to move the website to a new hosting company and will be providing a forum for you to provide your views on what to do next.

Village information on the website

I have started with a Hanwell page, but if anyone would like me to put other items on the site please let me know.

Other local exchanges

This page will be enhanced to include all exchanges that border Wroxton and Banbury. I am hoping that the Banbury Guardian might take it up in a similar way to the petrol campaign they have been running.

Adderbury

Adderbury have just reached their trigger level of 250 if they can do it so can we.
