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.
