BROADBAND

There are a number of good internet service providers, with one of them being the Swaffham Prior Community broadband (RASP). Standard internet service providers use ASDL technology where the download speeds are a lot higher than the upload speeds. RASP, however, offer equal download and upload speeds.

RASP can provide you with speeds of 3.5Mbps to 5.0Mbps (megabits per second) or a maximum, at the moment, of 10Mbps for uncapped clients - and these are both download and upload speeds.

To access their website please click on www.raspnet.co.uk.

BT also provide a reliable service and are hoping to keep increasing their speeds and we do have the opportunity to vote for an upgrade to the Burwell exchange to be treated as a priority. If you go to http://www.racetoinfinity.bt.com/home just follow the instructions and VOTE.
