Decent broadband for everyone

The internet is essential for many of us. It helps people set up businesses in rural areas or work from home. It means we can connect with our friends and family who don’t live nearby. But for over a million people in the UK - maybe even you or a neighbour, the internet is too slow to get anything done.

But we can change that. If lots of us start petitions across the UK, demanding proper internet for our areas, it’ll cause a wave of public pressure. Even more of us speaking out will prove this isn’t something that’ll just disappear.

So will you start a petition to your MP or MSP asking for their support for proper internet?

  • Decent broadband in all of West Dorset
    People in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. Decent broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone.

  • Rural Broadband in Orkney, Shetland & the Western Isles When?
    Everything is online nowadays. We are expected to run our affairs this way, pay bills etc yet there are areas in Orkney, Shetland, the Western Isles and many other rural areas throughout the UK that have no broadband service. We are told to buy into a satellite service as a means of solving this shortfall, yet no subsidy exists to aid in this process. Satellite broadband is costly and is beyond many pockets to fund. It needs to be the case that providers are forced to install the cables even if its a loss leader for them. They have so far avoided their responsibility and have broken promise after promise. Successive governments have failed in the same way. WHY? Today a report was published that seems to be a "WASHING OF THE HANDS" WHEN IT COMES TO RURAL BROADBAND PROMISES. When will we actually get the service we have been promised for the last decade?
