Halt to new internet link-
Isles MSP Alasdair Allan has today written to Connected Communities to raise the capacity issues which are now occurring on the BT link from Stornoway to London, which provides the internet connection for customers of Connected Communities.
Alasdair Allan commented: “I have been contacted by a number of constituents who have highlighted to me the fact that Connected Communities are now unable to accept any more subscribers, except those for business use, as the BT link from Stornoway to London is now reaching capacity.
“I have therefore written to ConCom to ask them when they may be in a position to commission the extra capacity needed to improve the link to London.
“For many people in rural parts of the Western Isles a viable internet connection is a lifeline link and a connection to the outside world, though I am glad that ConCom at the moment are not restricting installations for business customers.
“I hope that ConCom will be in a position to commission the extra capacity needed as soon as possible.”
