Broadband drop outs at Chaddleworth exchange.

Is anyone in Brightwalton and surrounding villages getting broadband drop outs, slow speeds or no broadband at all on some occasions?
We must all complain to our own ISP's to get this resolved, its terrible, we are paying for it and getting a useless service!

I have put it on the 'Newsflash' on the home page of our Brightwalton site, comments to that post would be welcome.

How does the BT Broadband Accelerator work?
Telephone extension wiring around your home can pick up interference, affecting your broadband service. The accelerator filters out this interference, which can give you a faster more reliable service. You pay only £1-20 for postage, (goes on your BT bill)

This fantastic event celebrates the lives of those touched by cancer and raises money to support the life saving work of Cancer Research UK. This non-athletic event sees teams of colleagues,friends family,and neighbours walk around a track for 24 hours. Each team tries to keep at least one member on the track at all times, whilst all around them the party is in full swing with camping throughout the night. Throughout the day and into the evening a wide variety of entertainment will be provided including: cheerleaders, dove releases, Fireman's band, Berkshire Youth Orchestra, Rosemary Connelly fitness club, bands, singers, BBQs, balloon races, fancy dress, magician, stall holders, DJs and birds of prey demonstrations and much more to be confirmed!!
It is never too late to ENTER NOW!! But, if you can't do this then please come down to Reading Rugby Club from 12 noon Saturday 20th June to 12 noon Sunday 21st June 2009 to lend some support to this community event. With lots to entertain people of all ages there will be something for everyone!
On a serious note, Cancer Research UK relies heavily on fundraising activities such as these to keep up its vital work for everyone in the community. However small the donation it will go towards helping Cancer Research UK to allow the important work to continue.
