3 Slowest broadband towns a year later

In 2012 BBC reported on 1/3 of UK postcodes having slow broadband speeds.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17130367

They listed the following towns

Winchelsea in east sussex (ave 1.1Mbps)

Hereford - slowest city (avg 3.1Mbps)

Kilmarnock (3.2Mbps)

Dumfries (3.6Mbps)
Canterbury (4Mbps)
and Shrewsbury (4Mbps).

So we decided to check and if they are still slow, offer a solution.

Here's the 18 month review

Winchelsea - still slow ( 0-4Mbps everywhere)
Hereford - a little better ( 10% get 16Mbps and above, 58% get 4-16Mbps and 32% get 0-4MBps
Kilmarnock - a little better ( 10% get 16Mbps and above, 58% get 4-16Mbps and 32% get 0-4MBps
Dumfries - the divide gets bigger ( 20% get 16Mbps and above, 20% get 4-16Mbps and 60% get 0-4MBps
Canterbury -  a little better ( 10% get 16Mbps and above, 58% get 4-16Mbps and 32% get 0-4MBps
Shrewsbury - fast center, but the divide gets bigger ( 30% get 16Mbps and above, 40% get 4-16Mbps and 30% get 0-4MBps

It's not just Rural - everyone 3 miles from a digital exchange suffers

.. and it's no longer a secret.

If you have heard about the super fast initiative, then this may be an initiative too far for what openreach calls the final third.

So if you are in need and fed up with your broadband speed - you are "BroadBanned" or amongst the third of the population that are not going to get a faster connection, unless...

'Banned Secrets was set up to reveal what most people consider to be the elephant in the room - for many years high speed internet has been promised but never delivered. It's in the small print!

So, we have now put a list of resources available to enable you with fast, superfast speeds for home / business however far you are from the fiber.
