Some of you might have noticed that the BT cabinet on School Lane now has a poster of the “Digital Derbyshire Better Faster Broadband” on it.
This means that fibre broadband has finally arrived in Taddington and can be ordered from most internet providers. Maximum speeds are 80Mbps download and 20Mbps upload for the lucky ones close to the cabinet, while people further away can still enjoy up to 5x faster download and 16x faster upload speeds.
