The Connected Counties
programme is targeted with making fibre broadband available to over 90% of
homes and businesses in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire by April 2016. The programme is being funded jointly by
both Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire County Councils, the Local Enterprise
Partnerships for each county, BT and the Government’s Broadband Delivery UK
team (BDUK).
Fibre broadband uses fibre
optic cable for at least some of the link between the customer and the
exchange.
It is much faster and more
reliable than traditional broadband (known as ADSL) delivered via copper
telephone lines.
The programme aims to ensure
that everyone has access to a minimum of 2 Mbps broadband speeds by March
2016. Steeple Claydon and Winslow exchanges are included in phase 3
of the programme, with survey work starting in June 2014 to identify
places for the new fibre cabinets. Subject to these survey results, engineering
upgrade work will follow and a new fibre cabinet will be installed near to the
existing green cabinet.
