Dear all,
Pleased to advise that we have recently enabled nearly 150 premises with Full Fibre broadband as part of the Parwich exchange scheme. The premises in question are primarily located in Parwich village and in DE6 1QA, QB, QD, QL, QJ, QW, 1NX, 1QH, 1QG and 1QT postcodes. Please Note: Not all premises in these postcodes are enabled, however we will continue to build our network over the coming weeks and months.
Whilst this is great news for Parwich, we are still hoping to build our new Full Fibre network to neighbouring communities such as Alsop en le Dale and Pikehall, however we are still short of our target costs in order to make this happen.
Our pledge site remains open Connect My Community (openreach.com), so people who haven’t pledged yet, but intend to order Full Fibre services soon, we would appreciate if they could pledge prior to ordering as this will help us obtain the required funding and hopefully hit our target. I also attach some information which can be shared electronically through email and social media and I would be grateful if you could help promote and raise awareness of the scheme.
We appreciate that most people are unclear about the monthly costs once Full Fibre services become available so it would be worth reaching out to their Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see what packages are available. A lot of ISPs will upgrade their customers to Full Fibre at no additional charge once it becomes available so worth checking with them.
A link to a list of providers using our network is below.
In terms of areas that have been enabled, people can check whether Full Fibre services are available by following the link below and inserting their postcode and selecting their address. If the response confirms Full Fibre Broadband available as per example below, then they can contact their ISP to upgrade. Some providers may have already contacted their customers.
I trust this is welcomed news for the village and I look forward to bringing more good news in 2025. I would be more than happy to attend and provide an update at one of your next Parish Council meetings in the New Year. If this is of interest, please let me know and advise of suitable dates.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Regards
Robert Rowan
