County Broadband & Surlingham


After much prompting since May this year, I have finally received a message from County Broadband regarding the installation of full fibre in our village.

it does not make pleasant reading.

“I hope this message finds you well.

We are writing to provide an update regarding our plans to build a full fibre network in your area. After careful consideration and analysis, we regret to inform you that we did not gather sufficient interest to commit to this project at this time.

We appreciate your understanding and patience. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
