Right you lot i rang NTL they said and i quote "Cable is very expensive to lay but if we get 300 people wanting digital tv or Broadband then they would look at cableing more of the area "
what they want is a letter saying that 300 people with addresses want ether cable tv or broadband in the area of Accrington then they will do something about it .
So its up to you

Would be OK in the long term, if enough people were interested, Would have thought that if many were it would have been done by now.
Would like to know why when I asked about it, there was no future possibility, unless their financial circs have changed somewhat. Heard they were in dire staits financially at one stage.
Even if something came of this it would be a long term thing.
Can't wait that long! ;D

A new scheme to deliver BROADBAND using electricity lines is now being tested in Winchester.
Following successful Scottish trials, Scottish and Southern Energy is testing its Powerline Communications BROADBAND service in England.
The technology uses the wires in the electricity network in much the same way as ADSL uses the telephone network.
Powerline, however offers the same speed when uploading as downloading from the internet.
ADSLs upload speed is typically restricted to half its download rate.
Similar trials in 2001 had to be stopped due to technical difficulties.
SSE said it has worked with Oftel to overcome interference with radio frequencies and radar and that there had been no reports of problems with voltage.
SEE plans to charge £30 per month for the service.
All users will need to do is plug into a fitted black box.
so it could meen everyone can have BROADBAND .

Surprised no-one has done it yet in accy but - a popular way of getting cheap broadband to people is one company buys a fast connection in first house on block, cable is run to every house on block(through attic for instance) and they all share a broadband connection. Or - if the above isn;t possible and you have good relations with neighbours set up a wireless network and share the cost. This is how many people are getting cheaper broadband in places where it is far more expensive than uk. Think about it.... (no good for downloading full length videos but browsing the web its fine!)
