| Message from Lord Carter (Digital
Britain) BERR endorses Rutland Telecom |
|
"The availability
of broadband is increasingly important to UK businesses and citizens and it's
crucial we ensure that rural communities aren't left behind as the rest of the
country enjoys the benefits of a 21st Century Digital Britain. Local
infrastructure projects - such as the work that Rutland Telecom is doing - have
a key role to play in the roll-out of next generation broadband; helping speed
up the availability of new services in remote areas. We congratulate Rutland
Telecom on what has been achieved so far and will be watching their future
projects with interest." |

Company Major investment in gigabit infrastructure |
|
We offer
broadband services using ADSL2+, VDSL, SDSL, wireless and fibre-optics. We have
implemented an IP-based network for voice & data in Rutland, previously a
technologically-isolated rural community suffering from poor broadband speeds.
We have invested in a gigabit network infrastructure which will satisfy
Rutland's future demands for bandwidth such as BBC I-player and SKY HD. We
offer the fastest upload and download speeds in the County and our bonded
ADSL2+ residential service is the fastest in the UK. Our services are available
to 50% of the population of Rutland and we aim for 100% coverage within 1 year.
We are recognised in industry as the first UK Communications Provider to
develop Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) with full access to copper lines to
premises. This was achieved in Lyddington in 2009 which now has the fastest
broadband over phone lines of any rural UK village. Other similar deployments
are progressing. Our specialist area is delivering fast broadband services to
rural areas using FTTC (subloop unbundling) and we
welcome enquiries from other
communities around the UK looking for a solution to poor broadband
speeds. |
