Are you living in an area where you can't get fast broadband?

eHampshire has worked with BT and SEEDA to make sure that all the exchanges in the county are Broadband Enabled.  However, despite this work there are still some areas of the county that are not covered by broadband, for reasons of distance from the exchange or quality of line; many of these areas are remote rural settings but some are also in surprisingly built up locations, these so called ‘not spots’ are a growing problem for Hampshire’s Knowledge Based Economy and we are keen to map them so that we can work with SEEDA, HCC, BT and other partners to reduce their impact.
