History of the Inkberrow broadband campaign

Since the beginning of March 3003, Tapcast have been campaigning for the Inkberrow exchange to be upgraded so that broadband would be available to homes and businesses in Inkberrow.

To get the Inkberrow exchange upgraded people had to register their interest in broadband with BT. When enough people had registered their interest, BT gave the Inkberrow exchange a ‘trigger level’ of 300 registrations.

The trigger level was reached on 4^th February 2004, after the number of Inkberrow residents registering their interest in broadband hit 300. By the 23^rd April, BT had checked that the registrations where genuine and issued a ready for service date of the 7^th July for the Inkberrow exchange.

Between the announcement of the ready for service date and the 7^th July, BT where assessing the Inkberrow Exchange to confirm the amount of work that needed to be done to make the Inkberrow telephone exchange broadband compliant.
