Wymondham

Broadband Enabling Technology Scheme

BT piloted a new technology in the summer 2010, ‘Broadband Enabling Technology (Bet)’, to allow UK homes currently not served by broadband to get access to faster speeds. Bet can provide between 1 and 2Mbps (megabit per second) broadband to homes currently struggling on dial-up. Usually houses farther than 5km from their local telephone exchange are unable to get broadband but Bet increases the range to 12km. Wymondham was one of ten locations chosen for the pilot.
