Yorkshire ISP CLANNET Expands Rural Wireless Broadband into Cowesby

Tuesday, Aug 21st, 2012 (1:02 pm) - Score 698

The tiny civil parish village of Cowesby (Hambleton) in North Yorkshire UK can now access broadband speeds of up to 25Mbps after community network developer CLANNET Broadband made use of the local St Michael and All Angels Church to expand the coverage of its wireless network. Other villages will also benefit.

In an update posted yesterday CLANNET revealed that it had installed a new repeater in the village to help expand its coverage on the “Moorside“, which can now deliver “nearly complete” coverage into several other local villages including Over Silton, Nether Silton, Kepwick Cowesby, Leake and Borrowby.

CLANNET Update (20th August 2012)

With thanks to David our host in Cowesby the new repeater was commissioned today. Speed results were encouraging with up to 25Mbps achieved so we are now accepting orders from villagers and surrounding [areas].”

CLANNET typically works with local communities and NYnet to help provide broadband internet access using wireless technologies in areas “where traditional methods have failed“, such as isolated villages with “very poor to non-existent connectivity, so-called notspots or slowspots“.

At the last count in 2001 Cowesby had a population of just 60 people, which is far too small for most ISPs to even risk taking a sniff at.
