Winchester City Council and the eHampshire Partnership are seeking views on
broadband internet access across the District.

A short survey has been made available for Winchester District residents and
businesses. It will help to measure the level of demand for better
broadband. The survey asks for details of current internet speeds, and seeks
views on what you would pay for faster access to the World Wide Web. The
results will be mapped, and overlaid onto an existing map of not-spots - a
term to describe areas with very poor broadband access. This will identify
the areas which require higher speed broadband access.

The evidence that is gathered will be used to lobby internet service
providers, and those providing internet infrastructure, to provide a better
service to Winchester.

You can access the survey at http://www.ehampshire.org/winchester/c-339
which also has a tool to measure your current broadband speed. In addition,
you can email more general comments to Kate Cloud, Economic Development
Manager, at ecdev@winchester.gov.uk or telephone 01962 848 563.
