Ultrafast Broadband Update – Success!

We are delighted to announce that the BAACA has now signed a contract with BT Openreach for the provision of improved broadband speeds – up to 1gbps (gigabit per second) for the reminder of Bellingdon & some parts of Asheridge currently not provisioned! (Not to be confused with those covered by the Cholesbury project…)

Thanks to all those households who signed up for vouchers from DCMS (topped up by Bucks County).  To get to this stage has been a major effort and the committee would like to thank Tony Orr in particular for his work with Openreach to get us to this point .

The next couple of months should see Openreach ordering equipment, finalising implementation plans etc. then the project will be moved to deployment. How long this will take is difficult to know, although Openreach aim to have the work complete within a year, but at some stage the service will be made available for sale through the Internet retailers. 

At this point householders can upgrade their service from their existing provider or use a new one.  We will send a note out once this point is reached.  We fully expect many more home will request the service once it is up and running.

We look forward to faster speeds for our internet access in the future.
