Welsh ISP Spectrum Internet Brings Superfast Broadband to St Brides Wentlooge

Posted: 13th Dec, 2011 By: MarkJ
spectrum internet uk isp walesCardiff-based Welsh ISP Spectrum Internet has celebrated today after successfully managing to deploy a "superfast broadband" service in the small rural "Not Spot" hamlet of St. Brides Wentlooge (below Newport) in south east Wales (UK).

The project was officially given the green light during late September 2011 and ISPreview.co.uk has been told that it consists of Spectrum Internet's own Street Cabinet (connected up via BTOpenreach cables) and a Microwave based wireless technology (Microwave to the Cabinet) for internet provision.

The service officially went live on Monday this week and at least one resident has already reported broadband speeds of 15Mbps, which in fairness is quite a way short of the "24Mbps+" definition set by the Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) office and Ofcom for superfast broadband. Some small pictures of the work can be found here.

Official domestic (home) packages start at £15 per month for a 4Mbps connection with 5GB download limit (£2 per extra GB consumed) and go up to £35 for 8Mbps and a 100GB usage allowance (business options also available). The set-up fee for the service is £999.99 but this can often be claimed back through the Welsh Government's Broadband Support Scheme.
