Cheddington

Broadband

We are fortunate to have a broadband enabled telephone exchange that, as far as I know, means that anyone in the village can get a broadband.

Utility Warehouse Website

To take full advantage of Broadband, you will need to 'sign up' with a broadband provider.  There are many of these in the marketplace - from supermarkets such as Tesco, national specialist providers such as Tiscali, and one source (Utility Warehouse) has a broker living here in Cheddington.

But, having got it, what can we do with it?

Community

Broadband opens up all sorts of opportunities for village groups to use the Internet to communicate with members of the group and others in the village. Lots of groups now have either their own websites or pages on this website. 'Always on' connections open up opportunities for email alerts and news, why not sign up to the Cheddington Email Group? Just send an email to the Webmaster with your name and email address and ask to subscribe.

If your group would like to add information to this website or send out news to the Email group contact the webmaster.

Business

Running a business from home, or home working, is so much more effective with a broadband connection. And all businesses based in Cheddington are entitled to a free page on this website, send details to the webmaster.
