Now is the time to act! (406 signatures and counting)

It has been confirmed that a site has been found for Ditchling's superfast broadband cabinet, 'subject to further excavation'. However, BT says: '... we are aiming to have the two cabinets installed and working by June 2017'. Even that is only subject to the survey, so it might not happen. Given BT's long history of moving goalposts, we potentially face at least another 14 months of delay while all of us who work from home struggle with slow speeds and intermittent reception, alongside the variety of daily frustrations we experience on a domestic level. Don McBeth, chair of Ditchling Parish Council (please see link to Parish Council website), suggests we all express our 'disgust and contempt' to BT. Here's what you can do to help in 2 mins: 1. Copy and paste the following text: [Email subject]: PLEASE BRING SUPERFAST BROADBAND TO DITCHLING NOW!! Dear BT, Enough is enough! We can't wait any longer. Please bring superfast broadband to Ditchling now! Yours sincerely XXXXX 2. Address it to the following panel of decision makers: craig.mcquade@bt.com paul.boichat@bt.com stacey.king@bt.com adrian.2.paice@openreach.co.uk david.axam@bt.com gavin.e.patterson@bt.com 3. Hit send! Alternatively, please feel free to draft a more flowery, vitriolic missive(!) or place a telephone call to: Craig McQuade BT Consumer BT, Riverside Tower, Lanyon Place, Belfast, BT1 3BT Executive Level Complaints Team Contact number 03316545457 craig.mcquade@bt.com We have ourselves written to this panel of decision makers and drawn their attention to our petition which has now reached 406 signatures and counting...(thank you!). Henceforth, for every additional signature at Change.org, each of these decision makers will also receive an email so please do keep the petition moving and help us show how much demand there is. Hopefully, if we continue to shout loudly, as BT themselves told us we should, they will bring the work forward. We're all fed up with the empty promises. Villagers, now is the time to act! Thank you for your continuing support and let's keep going!
