Its not going to happen on miomleddre,I'm just going to repeat what had already been posted in the poll area Its going to be a long, slow wait for Middlemore to get decent broadband speeds. (Much longer than 12 months!)Daventry's BT Infinity roll-out has been delayed by BT for 12 months, as indicated by a poster above, however BT's roll-out schedule for Daventry specifically EXCLUDES the Middlemore estate from the Infinity upgrade (always has done).Why I hear you ask BT's Infinity roll-out is FTTC (Fibre to the Cab), resulting in high-speed equipment being installed in the local street cab (Dark Green box) enabling the last few meters from the cabinet to the your home to use the existing copper cable, this allows speeds of around 40Mpbs.Middlemore is not having this technology installed by BT. Middlemore's BT ducting is large enough to blow Fibre down it to your actual house, known as fibre to the premises (FTTP), this will allow initial connection of 100Mbps and can be upgraded to pretty much any speed you want as the technology grows in the future.So in future Middlemore will have very very fast broadband, but at present, BT have to complete the Infinity project before they move on to the FTTP project.Expect 2014 at the earliest, whilst friends in other parts of Daventry should get 40Mbps broadband this time next year. Sure, you can hassle BT, but i'd rather have FTTH then the slower FTTC which is what the funding is for.
