We propose to deliver superfast broadband to Ryhall & Belmesthorpe. The villages currently suffers from poor broadband speeds averaging 1.5Mbps. We propose to deliver upto 40Mbps speeds following our success in Lyddington, Rutland, which saw the UK’s first rural FTTC deployment and is already profitable, paying its private investors 10% dividends. Lyddington has the fastest rural broadband speeds for any village in the UK delivered by existing telephone lines.We have received national publicity surrounding our success in Lyddington and we are now widely regarded as the UK’s leading specialists of delivering superfast rural broadband using Fibre to the Cabinet technology. Another FTTC deployment is proceeding in Essendine (Rutland).
We are looking for a minimum number of premises signed up in advance with a £50 deposit before we install our cabinets. As registrations come in and are verified, this page will be updated. 

  • Our superfast “fibre to the cabinet” broadband service in Ryhall & Belmesthorpe will cost £35/month for residential users
  • This price includes line rental – you will no longer have a service from BT or any other provider
  • To get out of any existing contract is now easy following a ruling by Ofcom, and should cost very little
  • Business users pay £45 + VAT per month
  • The upgrade is projected to happen within 3 months of reaching the threshold.
  • There is no long-term contract – just 30 days notice required to leave our service
  • To keep your phone number costs £25. A new number is free (any area code). Your number is transferred to us from BT.
  • One-off £50 connection fee (your deposit is converted to this if/when we proceed)
  • Much higher upload speeds are possible
  • Low call costs – in Lyddington the BBC reported that call costs fell 50% compared to BT
  • We provide a free 4-port non-wireless router. A wireless router costs £45
  • Your broadband speed will be significantly faster than now (compared to BT etc) but we will give a more accurate estimate when you submit your deposit based on your address/telephone number (we calculate your line length). Average broadband speed for the village will be 25Mbps (range 10Mbps to 40Mbps). The closer you are to the cabinet the faster your speed.
  • Late adopters will be charged at least a £150 connection fee (those joining after the service goes live or after we close registrations – provisional final date for reduced-cost registrations is 30th November)
  • Other FAQs can be found here

Please do not complete the form unless you are willing to have your line transferred to us and begin paying monthly for our service by direct debit once we upgrade your broadband.

Each business that signs up (£45/month excl VAT) will count for 2 registrations towards the trigger level

Once the trigger level is reached, we will notify you in advance of the estimated date of transfer and ask you for direct debit details. The £50 deposit pays for a one-off connection fee (something we are subsidising – BT charge £150 for each line they transfer across to our cabinet).
