P-05-793 - Hi speed broadband to Llangenny village, Correspondence – Petitioner to Chair, 23.03.19

I see the response from Lee Waters and regrettably I see that we are destined to remain without a cable connection to this village (and no doubt many other rural villages in Wales) for many years.  Along with the poor mobile and 4G reception it makes communication and business very difficult in rural communities.  The village of Llanbedr which is a similar size and just 3 miles away was chosen for connection and it is completely unclear why that is the case when we weren’t.

I travel widely on business and for holidays and it is embarrassing to find that most developing countries have far better 4G and mobile signal in their rural communities than we do whatever the terrain.  This means rural populations are “doing business” rather than driving young people away and becoming retirement areas.

Thank you for your efforts to resolve this issue but I don’t think you can progress the matter further

Regards
