BROADBAND IMPROVEMENT FOR TATTERFORD

 

Our Parish Council have, over a number of years been concerned by the poor broadband service to Tatterford and the surrounding properties; after many conversations with Openreach, Councillors decided that the only way to improve matters is to take the task into our own hands.

We are investigating the possibility of getting a fibre-to-the-doorstep installation which would give the village ultra-fast connection. To do this, we will need you to make one phone call to claim a central government grant that is available to every house where download speeds do not exceed 10 mgb per second through a landline.

This grant is available to all by ringing Universal Service Providers and registering your property and registering your interest in claiming the voucher.

The number is 0800 028 9299.    (A free call.)

If possible, speak to either Glenda or Ell.

Explain why you have decided to take up the scheme. (To support a village initiative.)

Ask if you can make a note of your “Cluster Number”.  

                 (This will give us some information as to how the village is served by Openreach.)

If you are told you do not qualify, ask if there are any other grants that you can receive.

Ask if you can make a note of your reference VOL number.

 

Once this is done, please let us know by e-mail informing us of the two numbers. When all of us have done this the Parish Council can then decide if it is possible to raise enough in funding to meet the remaining cost to get the whole village and surrounding houses up-graded to a fibre connection.

This one telephone call could:

  • Increase the value of your property.
  • Make downloading films, music, and photographs almost instantaneous.
  • Enable you to watch catch-up TV without any buffering,
  • Speak to and see family and friends over Skype.
  • Join Teams or Zoom meetings.
  • Set up, run and maintain websites.
  • Have a greater choice of suppliers.

 

With a monthly broadband charge as low as £22.00 per month.
