There are, of course, numerous sites offering broadband packages and the one above is only one of many.
In parts of the two villages, a broadband speed of 50+mb/s is possible now.
In 2021, new mobile phone masts are being installed in the area which will provide 5G connection and it is hoped will significantly improve all communications - unfortunately this means having even taller masts installed ..........but the vast majority of people use mobilephones and we do live in the 21st century !
At August / September 2023 - these installations are still not totally correct with poor mobile signal in the area and nobody seems to be able to remedy this !
At September 2023, one of the masts is being replaced with a slightly taller one !
