Firstly, I’m sorry for the delay in responding, there has been an issue with the Better Broadband for Norfolk website address which meant a number of emails we only delivered on mass last might.
I’ve asked that the website is changed and emails come directly to my account, if you could send any further emails to my account rather than the Better Broadband for Norfolk one.
There is currently a wide geographical area covered by Wymondham cabinet 3 which includes Spooner Row. This is why the speeds are so bad currently.
There are six new pairs of cabinets planned under the Better Broadband for Norfolk rollout to cover the area currently covered by cabinet 3. This will provide cabinets much closer to people, they will be fibre enabled and therefore offer good speeds. This is a significant piece of work though, involves re-designing the copper network in the area to be picked up by the new cabinets.
I don't have a date currently, but based on the scale of the work required would estimate completion during 2017.
Although I don't receive blistering speeds, I do receive an average of 2.5mbps in the village. Not enough for the whole household to simultaneously watch HD movies of course, but sufficient for me to catch up on the latest episodes from Amazon and Netflix in standard definition, via the ipad, xbox, TV etc. It's not always been the case though, to achieve it I've disconnected all cable extensions from the house and have had to site my router and telephone base station at the main BT socket (which isn't in the best of locations, requiring a heavier duty antenna to boost the WiFi around the house). However, since I've done it, coupled with a regular automatically scheduled reboot of my router every other day, it's bearable. Not brilliant compared to others with 80 meg in villages not too far from us, obviously, but bearable!
