Timetable

Over the coming months your parish council will be working with community and business groups (WI, National Farmers Union, Federation of Small Business, CBI and many more) to ensure that every home and business in the Phase 1 area  appreciates the importance of Super Fast broadband to the community.

To find out why broadband matters please read our leaflet “Reasons for Fast Broadband”.

Over the coming months everyone will be asked to register their interest by completing an on-line questionnaire.

FastBroadband4Herefordshire will pull this data together to quantify to the Broadband Industry the demand for services.

The tender is likely to be awarded in early 2012 with the superfast broadband services reaching across the Phase 1 area by the end of 2015.
