Thanks to new masts, ThinkingWISP is now able to provide fast, local broadband across 90% of Norfolk, allowing even more homes and businesses to benefit.

As it is a wireless system, you can benefit even if location means that your current internet speeds are very slow. A BT line is also not required, giving a further opportunity to save line rental costs.

Rural communities have continued to suffer a raw deal in the ‘piecemeal’ roll-out of the broadband project across the UK, leading rural network ACRE has said.

ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) spoke out in the wake of criticism of the Government’s handling of the Rural Broadband Programme by the influential Commons Public Accounts Committee.

The Committee says the Department for Culture, Media and Sport ‘mismanaged’ the project by awarding all of the rural broadband projects so far to BT, which will ultimately benefit from £1.2bn of public funding.

But ACRE says the burning issue for rural communities and businesses is as fundamental as whether they will get broadband or not. Chief executive Janice Banks said: “Many local councils have published maps for the rural broadband programme, which is meant to extend superfast coverage to 90% of the premises in the UK.

“But despite an earlier pledge from the Secretary of State Maria Miller, the information provided by some councils is so limited and inconsistent it is impossible for people to tell whether their homes and businesses are included or not.

“This confusion ties the hands of innovative communities who want to come up with their own broadband solutions. No one will invest in a plan that could be overtaken by the BT roll-out.”

ThinkingWISP, is delivering a viable community alternative now. With download speeds of 3mb-10mb available, ThinkingWISP can make a huge difference to homes and businesses in Norfolk and Waveney – from downloading documents and filling in online tax returns more quickly to streaming video online without buffering delays.  To find out if you could benefit call 01603 558001 or discover more on this website.

 

 

Current broadband plans will be too late to help rural businesses, according to a new report, ‘Let’s Get Digital’, by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). A recent government spending review pushed back the broadband roll out deadline by two years, to 2017, when 95% of properties will receive the service – something the CBI say  our rural businesses cannot wait for. Homes and businesses in rural ‘not spots’ across much of Norfolk and Waveney can get the broadband speeds they need now with ThinkingWISP. This uses a small aerial to connect wirelessly to the internet, avoiding the speed and service restrictions of traditional solutions.

ThinkingWISP customer Fergus Anderson had our service installed at his home in Runham, said: “I used to get a very slow and unreliable broadband service of just 1.4mb/s through copper wires.  I swapped to ThinkingWISP for virtually the same price as I was paying my previous supplier and got four times the broadband speed (8mb/s). “I decided to install ThinkingWISP because I live in a rural location, 5-8km from my internet exchange, and my perception is that the conventional internet providers won’t be improving my service any time soon. I suspect that there are a lot of members in this position and I would recommend ThinkingWISP to them.” Fergus, who runs agricultural fencing supplier Farmbits, said: “Access to suitable broadband speeds is becoming increasingly important to  doing business in rural areas – whether filling in forms online or accessing paperless billing. “Farmbits has a policy of storing all of our data on a cloud based system so that it can be accessed from multiple locations, but only if there is good broadband access. With ThinkingWISP I can now access my cloud based system from home.”

ThinkingWISP offers a range of broadband packages, with speeds up to 10 Mbit/s. The service comes with a 30 day money back guarantee.

When we started ThinkingWISP it was about solving a problem we saw our communities facing.

Norfolk RCC, InTouch Systems and Anglia Farmers had all been participating in many different meetings talking about the importance of broadband, the technical problems of broadband in rural areas, and the potential benefits. However, at the time there wasn’t anything actually happing to help people on the ground.

We decided to do something that made a real difference to people’s lives and ThinkingWISP was born.

We believe this is at the core of what it means to be a Social Enterprise – seeing a social problem and taking action to do something about it.

That’s while we are proud to be at the Festival of Social Enterprise at the Forum, Norwich on Tuesday the 10^th September.

Come along and say hi and remember you can still get ThinkingWISP broadband with 2 months free.

ThinkingWISP will be at the Green Build Event, the regions biggest green lifestyle event, at Felbrigg Hall on the 7^th and 8^th September.

We believe that online technology offers a fantastic opportunity to reduce our impact on the environment, particularly in rural areas.

• The use of services online can help reduce the need to travel, saving time, costs and limiting the need to use polluting cars.
• Ordering products online and having them delivered or using collective purchasing can lower the number of vehicles on the road reducing both emissions and congestion
• Communications technology can allow us to work from home, again reducing the need to travel and helping improve quality of life.

However, all of this requires high quality broadband in the first place and that’s where ThinkingWISP comes in to provide fast, local broadband.

Come along and say hi and don’t forget you can still get 2 months free broadband when you join ThinkingWISP.

More details about the event can be found here http://www.northnorfolk.org/greenbuild/default.asp
