Fibre Optic High Speed Broadband is scheduled to be rolled out on the 31st March in this area!!
The main Sudbury East BT exchange is due to go live on the 31st March. Apparently, this exchange covers most of the Waldingfield area. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will able to get the high-speed broadband. For this to happen, BT also has to upgrade your nearest “cabinet”. These are the old green telephone exchange boxes that you can see in the street. BT have told me that the new Fibre Optic enabled boxes are taller than the old ones and rather than swapping them out, may be located beside or a short distance away from the old cabinets.
The long and short of it is that if you have one of these in your street, then you will probably be getting access to the new high speed broadband fairly soon.
If you haven’t then it appears to be a wait-and-see game. However, one way in which you can try and push for it quicker is to register your interest on their site… http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/expression-gen.aspx.
Bearing in mind that the exchange is going live, if you and your neighbours all register your interest, then you are much more likely to see something happen sooner.
