So you actually want to know something about me? Why? Are you bored? Oh well. Just to satisfy your idle curiosity and my manic egotism I’ll tell you something about me!!! I am a 44-year-old guy, who lives in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire England. I was born in Lancashire, England, during September 1979. Most people don’t believe me that I was born in England due to my strong Scottish accent. My star sign is Libra. I am 5’9” tall, 30″ waist, with blonde hair, which is sometimes short, sometimes long. I have light brown eyes. Which most people think are very sexy. I just don’t see it, myself.

Fibre broadband is here…

Posted on by

BT Openreach FTTC in ClipshamSome great news. Fibre broadband is here… But only if you live in the local villages of Clipsham, Stocken or Stretton.

If you think what does this have to do with theBythams. Well they all happen to use the Castle Bytham telephone exchange. But happen to be in Rutland and not Lincolnshire.

So you have to ask yourself, why they did not put FTTC cabinets, in Castle Bytham and Little Bytham at the same time.

We have been told. We have to wait till July 2015, till we get fibre broadband!!

Time for everyone to write to our local MP and tell him this is just not on at all!!

For more information about getting fibre broadband in Clipsham, Stocken and Stretton. Check out www.rutland.gov.uk/digital_rutland/where_and_when.aspx.
