Require OpenReach to upgrade our neighbourhood to full fibre


Require OpenReach to upgrade our neighbourhood to full fibre
The Issue
Our street has been left behind in the digital age. While the rest of our town enjoys the benefits of high-speed full fibre internet, we are stuck with painfully slow connections. This discrepancy has created a digital divide within our community, affecting both our daily lives and future opportunities.
This issue hits close to home. In today's world, internet access isn't just a luxury - it's a necessity. Whether for work, education, or simply staying connected with loved ones, fast and reliable internet is essential. Our street has been unjustly overlooked, leaving us at a significant disadvantage compared to our neighbours just a few blocks away.
Statistics from the House of Commons Library show that the UK government aims to cover 85% of the country in full fibre broadband by 2025. Yet, while our town moves ahead towards this goal, our particular neighbourhood lingers in the past. We are asking OpenReach to upgrade our street to full fibre internet just like the rest of the town has received.
Investing in our street’s internet infrastructure will improve property values, enable children to access online learning resources without frustration, and support local businesses which rely heavily on the internet for their operations. It's a win-win for everyone.
Please join us in urging OpenReach to address this disparity and ensure that everyone in our town has equal access to the digital world. Sign this petition to demand the upgrade of our street to full fibre internet, fostering a more inclusive and connected community.
