Rural Community Broadband Survey Results

ruralbroadbandThe Haddington and Lammermuir Area Partnership have published a report summarising the results of the recent Community Broadband Survey.

528 responses were received to the survey, 69 of which came from the East Lammermuir area.

Unsurprisingly, a huge majority (80%) of respondant premises reported that they were dissatisfied with their current broadband provision. A massive 99% of respondants stated they would be interested in accessing superfast broadband in the future, and 72% of those stated that they would be prepared to pay more to have access to it, despite concerns that the rural communities were being disadvantaged by the lack of effective broadband provision.
