We hope to get enough people to sign up to make BT consider upgrading the exchange. If you have friends or relatives in the village and surruonding area that are served by the Glinton exhange please encourange them to look into this campaign.

Bring Broadband to Glinton

16th February 2004 : Glinton is live! The first installations of the EHotSpot wireless broadband network took place on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th February. The service is apparently and reports are that the latency is not any worse than with an ISDN line. Display times in the browser are fast and clean and there is at least one report of being able to download 50+mb of updates to Apple software in the time it took to write one email! Fantastic!

Sadly, still not enough people have signed up from the other villages for a service to be provided and Glinton still needs a few more to trigger the upgrade from 1mb to 2mb connection. If you are interested in this service (it looks as if BT are just not interested in providing a service to our community) have a look at the EHotSPot website.

Please note that the glinton.net website has no commercial link with EHotSpot, the logo is used with the permission of EHotSpot. Comments about speed etc are the responsibility of glinton.net and not EHotSpot.

More information about Broadband in Glinton, Peakirk, Helston and Etton are on the glintonbroadband website.
