The Osmington Broadband Survey

Broadband speeds around Osmington seem to vary dramatically depending on location, provider and, well, just about anything. One of the aims of the Community Plan is to improve Broadband speeds in Osmington and it would therefore be useful to obtain some speed statistics to reinforce the case.

Broadband speedchecker is a simple utility and takes just a few moments. You can check download and upload speeds in seconds and there is a link to test average page load speed.  Just enter your speeds into the comments on this post, together with your postcode and maybe we can use the information to improve Broadband services in the area.

The winners were revealed at a ceremony on 23rd September.

Sadly, Osmington was not a winner, but was awarded Highly Commended.
