| BROADBAND
IN FINDON |
Jeff Nutbeem ran a campaign called Broadband
for Findon.
The 21st Century evenually reached Findon
at the beginning of
December 2004, when the local telephone exchange was enabled for
broadband by BT.
My 1,152Kbps connection was enabled mid-December,
so I was then able to set up a wireless network. All our PCs could
access the Internet and we could talk on the phone, all at the same
time. Better still, at the end of December 2004 our connection was
upgraded
to 2Mbps, so we were able to work even more efficiently. It was great!
I didn't
have a landline when I moved to France in 2005, so I accessed the
Internet by means of a wireless Vodaphone
Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card in my laptop. I used OnSpeed
to boost the 56Kbps dialup speed. Nowadays I have a landline with a
2Mbps connection to the Internet.
You can use Broadband|checker
to find which ISPs can provide you with broadband in Findon.
