BT are upgradng exchanges to super-fast 40Mb broadband. As usual Stow on the Wold isn’t even on the list of exchanges to be upgraded in the next year or two. But…

You may have heard of The Race to Infinity campaign, BT are offering to upgrade the top 5 exchanges based on the proportion of subscribers who vote for their own exchange to be upgraded. There is a minimum number of 1000 votes to get into the competition and Stow only has 2398 subscribers but if we managed to get to 1000 votes we would have 42%, which (currently) would put us in at number 8! Realistically I think we will need 2000 votes to stand a chance of making the top 5, it’s a tall order but not impossible.

It doesn’t cost anything to vote, all you have to do is click on this link and enter your telephone number and postcode. So please vote for Stow, and if you aren’t on Stow exchange why not vote for your own exchange to be upgraded, it is worth a try.

Please tell as many people as possible, domestic or business subscribers, they all count!
