Broadband reaches Little Waldingfield, Suffolk

We are pleased to announce that we now have partial coverage of Little Waldingfield, Suffolk. This is a preliminary service, ahead of a network upgrade that will mean a major backhaul increase to enable a superfast NGA network in the area. Residents can already benefit from upto 10Mbps, and are urged to subscribe now to be the first to benefit from our NGA services upto 64Mbps.

What is Superfast Broadband?

Superfast broadband is officially described as a broadband connection with speeds over 20Mbps.  Our NGA (Next Generation Access) broadband service can deliver speeds over four times that fast, via a fixed wireless network.

What are the Community Broadband Pages?

Our Broadband Community Pages provide an opportunity for us to support the communities that we supply with broadband. If you have a community service or website within any of our coverage areas, please contact us and we will add your details to the relevant page.

We suspect that, on four wheels, they offer the fastest mode of travel – our van might look good, but it can hardly compete with a porsche!

..Of course, now they are up and running with a Community Network Pro package, Maxted-Page & Prill can get some pretty good speeds on the internet, too…

The Network Pro is ideal for Business and other high-priority internet users, offering unlimited download capacity* and priority-rated traffic, with extremely flexible packages offering burst-rates of upto 10Mbps.  If this sounds like a perfect deal, just check that you are in one of our community broadband coverage areas and sign up here.

We first started providing Assington Mill with high-speed internet in 2010, as an extension of our Assington broadband network. Owner Anne Holden has nothing but good things to say about the transformation of her working life since the days of dial-up.

If you have a success story you’d like us to share, about how getting online with County Broadband has helped your community, business, or even your home life(!) - get in touch and email: online-community@countybroadband.co.uk

Tim Rix, one of our first line support engineers, has recently been doing his bit for the Olympics, taking part as a volunteer timekeeper at the Olympic Mountain Biking events. As a volunteer he was invited to attend the dress rehearsal of the Opening Event and had to “keep the big secret” and not tell anyone what the opening event was all about before it took place for real. He spent yesterday honing his time-keeping skills ready for this weekend when he puts that training into practice, as part of the time-keeping team at the cross-country finals.

From all of us here Tim – WELL DONE – and we hope this weekend is a blast.

So – if you are following the mountain biking over the weekend, keep an eye out for Tim, and let us know if you spot him!
