Anyone passing Church Lane at Claxton Corner recently will have noticed the sign saying that Church Lane will be closed from 1-5 July for broadband-related work.  This is connected to the installation of the last of three fibre cabinets in the village.  This cabinet, No 8, will be located just round the first corner, not far from the entrance to Lambs Court.  See photos below.

Some residents at Claxton Corner have already been connected to fibre broadband, taking their service from cabinet No 7 in Folly Lane.  Given that this cabinet is almost a mile from Claxton Corner, the download speeds they are “enjoying” are probably no more than 15Mps at the moment, though that is considerably higher than anything they received beforehand.  When the new cabinet goes live and they have asked their provider to be switched to it, they can expect speeds in excess of 50Mps, and other residents of Church Lane will also be able to get much higher speeds than at present.

The exact timing of the installation has still not been announced.  As soon as we have something, it will appear on this website.
