I live in Bramcote and the broadband speed is below 0.5 Mbps. We've had 3 different bband providers, and it is the same! It seems a vast area around us (Beeston/Stapleford) have fibre optic, but no-one can tell us when this will be extended to our area. It is very frustrating, at the moment we're paying for a service we're not getting and there's nothing we can do about!
