Broandband Norfolk's Aims

Broadband Norfolk is an organization setup to campaign for broadband access for the whole of Norfolk. Broadband Internet is a name for high speed internet connections that allow people to connect to the Internet instantly, have instant access to high quality audio and video, use their phone line while connected to the internet, send and receive emails very quickly and allows near instant downloading of web pages. There are quite a few different kinds of broadband Internet access but the three main ones are ADSL, Cable and Wireless.

Broadband Norfolk believes it is important for everyone to have access to broadband Internet connections. Studies have shown that the majority of businesses would like to upgrade to broadband if it was available and broadband Internet access has been shown to benefit children's education. Broadband Norfolk does not want a situation to appear where businesses, schools and colleges in Norfolk are disadvantaged from their counterparts in cities because they don't have access to broadband Internet connections.

Broadband Norfolk hope to achieve broadband access for the whole of Norfolk through the aide of a petition show BT there is a demand for ADSL in Norfolk and hope to get companies and the local government interested in helping fund BT upgrade Norfolk's telephone exchanges.

Broadband Norfolk also hope to get NTL to rollout their cable modem broadband service to the cabled areas of Norfolk that have yet to receive it and try to get NTL to expand their cabled areas in Norfolk.
