The Parish Council Says:
After the government committed to providing decent broadband to everyone in the UK,
in 2011, BT said it would pay to bring fibre broadband to Braunston.
This meant that we were left out of Rutland County Council's Digital Rutland plan.
In August 2013 BT changed its mind, but didn't release it's 'lock' over Braunston until December.
RCC has been trying to pick up the pieces, but is hamstrung by Government policy and process.
RCC will probably now pay BT a large sum to complete our simple installation, in a year or so.
Meanwhile, most of Rutland can now access the internet using fibre broadband.
Whilst Braunston hasn't given up its campaign, we thought we would translate some of our frustration into a little humour, so Paul Rogerson has recorded our own protest song;
we hope you like it.
