Sadly the work to install a new <strong>fibre optic backhaul<\/strong> link took longer than expected (several months) and as a precaution the ISP chose to suspend new installations.<\/p>\n<p>But at the end of last month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vispa\" target=\"_blank\">Vispa<\/a>&#8217;s solicitors finally managed to overcome some delays with the necessary legal paperwork and confirmed that work to install the new link could now begin, albeit still subject to another <strong>30-60 day wait<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vispa\" target=\"_blank\">Vispa<\/a> noticed that the network has &#8220;<em>actually been pretty stable over the past couple of months<\/em>&#8221; and began a secondary measure to <strong>relay the existing backhaul links<\/strong> (Manchester to Winwick &amp; Chapelford) via their new high-rise site. The work was also intended to improve capacity, support the new fibre link and generally seems to have had the desired effect.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Vispa City Wireless Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We are pleased to announce that the suspension on new wireless broadband installations has been lifted in Burtonwood, Chapelford &amp; Winwick.
