Sadly the initial hope of roping in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> to do the work didn&#8217;t pan out.<\/p>\n<p>At present the local state aid supported <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superfastberkshire.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Superfast Berkshire<\/a> project is already working with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\" target=\"_new\">Openreach<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gigaclear.com\" target=\"_new\">Gigaclear<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.callflow.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Call Flow<\/a> to roll-out &#8220;<em>superfast<\/em>&#8221; (<strong>24Mbps+<\/strong>) capable broadband networks to 95.6% of the county by the end of 2017, but the above villages have largely existed outside of that focus.<\/p>\n<p>Poor connectivity and sub-2Mbps speeds have long been a problem for the area and last year&#8217;s intervention had hinted towards the possibility of BT deploying their &#8220;<em>fibre broadband<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/P) network into the area, although this could have taken until 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Separately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> recently selected the nearby village of <strong>Wargrave<\/strong> to benefit from their on-going network expansion (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/07\/virgin-media-name-30-uk-communities-300mbps-broadband-boost.html\">here<\/a>), which the operator said could have conceivably supported an extension to Crazies Hill by around 2018.<\/p>\n<p>However the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henleystandard.co.uk\/business\/business.php?id=253023\" target=\"_blank\">Henley Standard<\/a> reports that both BT and Virgin\u2019s offerings would also involve \u00a3100,000 to \u00a3200,000 of funding from the community to cover about 150 homes in Crazies Hill and Cockpole Green (i.e. around \u00a3660 to \u00a31,320 per resident).
