Service Description: A consultation is currently being run in order to seek the level of interest in superfast broadband across the Island. The Isle of Wight Council has secured funding from Government to help pay for the installation of superfast broadband across the island. This will mean that the Island can have world class, leading edge communications and entertainment services. However, the funding can only be spent where there is real demand for superfast broadband and we want to spend the money wisely. By completing a short survey, you will help inform our plans for installing superfast broadband and bringing these advanced services to you.

Answer: Superfast Broadband offers vast improvements in speed and bandwidth using fibre optic cables instead of copper telephone lines, which is how the majority of broadband on the Island is delivered. You’re probably receiving a connection speed of between 2 – 8Mbps with your current broadband connection. A fast broadband connection would give you a connection speed of between 8 – 24Mbps. Superfast Broadband will deliver speeds of over 24Mbps and in most cases over 40 Mbps.
