Letter: So envious of superfast connection
We read with envy of Shropshire Star columnist Nigel Hastilow's broadband speed of over 4Mbps.

Living in Bicton Heath we are now with internet provider Plusnet which is based in this country, pleasant and easy to talk to, but who can only guarantee us up to 0.8Mbps. Enquiries to Shropshire Council end in telling us that Box 73 is not covered by the extra money from the government.
The nearest village Bicton has access to superfast broadband but not us, and 28 houses are being built behind us. How much slower will that make it?
I am patient and could live with it if it was just slow but images for my family history research will not download.
