Broadband
target reached
On Monday morning 12th Jan 2004, The www.broadband4brent.co.uk
website showed that the trigger point of 200 registrations required by BT
to have the Brent Knoll Exchange upgraded to Broadband
The four organisers of the campaign,
Derek Almond, Steve Bagg, David Filmer and Tony Gore want to thank all those who
registered and particularly those who collected details from friends and
neighbours and e-mailed them. The campaign started on Saturday 3rd January
with a bulk delivery of a leaflet to over 700 houses and businesses in Brent
Knoll and East Brent. "The response surprised us all, so within just 9
days, together, we got there!" said David Filmer
"We
started with a further 121 registrations required to meet the 200 target. A
total of 205 sets of details were entered on behalf of villagers in Brent Knoll
and East Brent, besides those that were entered by applicants direct to BT via
our website. As it takes about 4-5 days for the details to be verified and
checked for duplications by BT, we expect the numbers to rise well above the
target in the next few days."
