KentOnline reported on 3rd February that residents in the Eden Village area of Sittingbourne where experiencing intermittent broadband due to cabinet batteries going flat and needing to be replaced.

The House of Lords debated broadband social tariffs and beyond the usual things one Lord said that aparently BT has said by 2025 after disconnecting Wi-Fi copper connections bills will be £100/m.

It is not just the scale of the FTTP roll-out that is impressive. Openreach has live customers on some 2,729,000 FTTP connections which gives them a larger live footprint than the premises passed figure for the second largest FTTP network in the UK.

We hope to make this a regular feature on the 1st of each month, to look back at which local councils had the most improvement in terms of FTTP availability since the start of the previous month.
