    Interesting how you are running this at the same time as the FttH councils annual conference! I hope to be with you

    Mutual hero respect my friend.
    Am humbled and honoured. You have built quite a following, an army in fact, and we will never give in. We will continue until Cumbria gets its fibre. None of us would be here but for you, the battle to the light goes on.

    I think that is the key point John. We will only get this one chance to get it right. If we can do the rural areas, market forces will deliver the rest. If we settle for a quick fix we have blown it. For the next generation.

    I agree with all of these comments! There’s a politicians statement! Chris is right that FTTC is not future-proof and has some significant limitations, but Somerset is right that it may provide a broadband speed increase for many (not all though and I doubt 40 Mb/s) quite soon. The future-proof feature of fibre is, in [...]

    Aled, One other point worth mentioning is that the inward and outwards routes do not get optimised for shortest distance but to a compromise between max properties served and getting the backhaul. I think we will find that most parishes will end up with around 4 or 5 routes to reach 100% of properties. My [...]

    Hi Charles, Thats a good question. My personal view would be that its better to go with one CIC, lets call it “Eden Valley Fibre CIC”. Given the need to get code powers from OFCOM and all the other bits and pieces of administration involved it would dissipate effort doing it multiple times. However we [...]

    Hi Somerset, Yes I think these maps make it much easier to visualise the project. I’m a bit of a nutter for maps as I think the old adage of a “picture tells a thousand words” is true. For the local work here I’ve got the 1:10,000 maps with the routes laid on them and [...]

    Hi Aled, Yes thats just the sort of thing that needs doing, well done. You will find as you drill down to fill in more of the in parish distribution routes that you get more lines radiating out from the parish centre. These too will meet up at parish boundaries and you find yourself with [...]

    I feel sorry for Penrith. They may get faster broadband but they aren’t getting Next Generation Access. Their broadband will still come through the copper phone lines and will not be futureproof, as BT have already said they won’t revisit cabinets to upgrade to FTTP. That means many in Penrith will be stuck with 5 [...]

    Ingenious! Would this be run by a big CIC or made up of lots of little ones?

    BT has announced that Penrith will be the first area of Cumbria to benefit from the next phase of its fibre-to-the-cabinet rollout. This is a completely separate initiative to the BDUK pilot. The announcement follows last month’s news that BT would begin to include rural market towns in the next phase of its £2.5bn FTTC broadband roll-out. Rory Stewart [...]

    Ah yes, now I remember - all accurate definitions of technology must fall hostage to marketing hype to suit the sales teams and shareholders. Who will claim they are ‘simplifying matters’ because all consumers are morons. C’mon Somerset. You are wasting space on this forum with your trivialities, constant sniping, picking on individuals who have [...]

    @somerset - ISTR that FTTC definitely falls into the correct narrowband definition. Care to prove otherwise?

    Excellent plan Barry. That’s the way to do IT. Well done.

    Part Two of Barry Forde ‘s smash-hit three part series on how the communities of the Eden Valley could get Fibre To The Premises by themselves: Step 1 . We would start with a map of Eden District with the 74 Parish boundaries plus the 4 Penrith Wards marked on it. Look at each of the 78 areas and identify a [...]
