| Rutland's own Telecoms
Company Major investment in gigabit infrastructure |
|
We offer
broadband services using ADSL2+, VDSL, SDSL, wireless and fibre-optics. We have
implemented an IP-based network for voice & data in Rutland, previously a
technologically-isolated rural community suffering from poor broadband speeds.
We have invested in a gigabit network infrastructure which will satisfy
Rutland's future demands for bandwidth such as BBC I-player. We offer the
fastest upload and download speeds in the County and our bonded ADSL2+
residential service is the fastest in the UK. Our services are available to 50%
of the population of Rutland and we aim for 100% coverage within 1 year. We are
recognised in industry as the first UK Communications Provider to develop Fibre
To The Cabinet (FTTC) with full access to copper lines to premises. Our
specialist area is delivering fast broadband services to rural areas using
subloop unbundling and we welcome enquiries from other communities around the UK
looking for a solution to poor broadband speeds. |

| Burley-on-the Hill Mansion receives fast
broadband Speeds triple and contention ratio falls |
Rutland Telecom has delivered
Next Generation Broadband to
Burley-on-the Hill House near Oakham, achieving speeds at
this rural location of 6.5Mbps. Trials of line bonding to deliver speeds up to
13Mbps are taking place. 20 residents have indicated interest in our new
service with the possibility of delivering speeds up to 40Mbps in future using
a private backhaul circuit. Overlooking Rutland Water, and formerly the opulent residence of Asil Nadir, the mansion and associated buildings has been divided into 38 high quality private residences. Occupants have suffered from poor broadband speeds due to its rural location and the old technology used by other providers. Speeds were around 1Mbps with high contention ratios typical of the mass-market ISPs. Rutland Telecom has stepped in to deliver high speed broadband at low contention ratios backed up by local service and support. registration form |

| Message from Lord Carter (Digital
Britain) BERR endorses Rutland Telecom |
|
"The availability
of broadband is increasingly important to UK businesses and citizens and it's
crucial we ensure that rural communities aren't left behind as the rest of the
country enjoys the benefits of a 21st Century Digital Britain. Local
infrastructure projects - such as the work that Rutland Telecom is doing - have
a key role to play in the roll-out of next generation broadband; helping speed
up the availability of new services in remote areas. We congratulate Rutland
Telecom on what has been achieved so far and will be watching their future
projects with interest." |
