The Kent based Fixed Wireless Access ISP - VFast, which is currently busy upgrading to a WiMax class network (as opposed to using slower Wi-Fi), is about to begin trials of its new 'up to' 24Mbps symmetric broadband service at selected locations in the same region.

We came across the information while updating our ISP Listings database, which revealed that VFast have now sourced all the necessary equipment and upgraded its backhaul circuits in preparations for the testing.

VFast states that it intends to inform all of its existing customers about the trial over the coming days and weeks. Customers in Barham, Canterbury, Hersden and Ashford will be among the first invitees.
