Thank you to everyone who signed my petition, we had 368 valid signatures an amazing response. Many people empathised with our problems well and truly acknowledging the importance of the Internet for our community including businesses, schooling, communication and general content delivery.

The Outram School has had an UFB/RBI upgrade with a new fibre optic service providing 100Mb/s (megabits per second) service, this is roughly 100 times the average peak time evening speeds we obtain due to congestion on the Chorus network.

Clare Curran has arranged a Public Meeting so we can hear from various businesses for community based solutions. Chorus and Vodafone have also been invited to attend.

I’d like to invite as many residents as possible to come along on Monday the 28th at 5:30 to the School Hall for a discussion.

Please support this initiative.
