More than 400 residents stationed at the RAF Leeming base in North Yorkshire UK will "soon" be brought out of broadband "Not Spot" status thanks to a new 10Mbps capable internet connection from NYnet and local wireless ( Wi-Fi ) ISP ILoveBroadband.

At present families located at RAF Leeming suffer from very poor internet connectivity that makes even simple tasks, such as sending emails, slow and unreliable. By contrast the new wireless system makes effective use of NYnet's fibre 100Mbps connection at the local primary school to deliver a faster and more stable service.



At the time of writing some 100 connections on the network (from a potential total of around 440) have already gone live and many more will follow as coverage expands towards completion, which is due by the end of Q1-2012. Meanwhile NYnet and ILoveBroadband will continue to expand their service into other parts of North Yorkshire and East Riding.

NYnet itself is a public and private sector commercial venture that was created in 2007 to help provide a better communications network for local citizens, business and public sector bodies. The venture is lead by North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) with support from the government and other groups.

Prices for the new service start as low as £14.99 per month for a 5Mbps symmetrical connection, while the 10Mbps service doubles speeds for £19.99 per month.
