A new service was today launched to boost broadband service in notspots across Norfolk and parts of Suffolk.
ITSwisp was designed by InTouch Systems, a Norwich IT provider.
This Wi-Fi technology means that homes and businesses that use it do not need a phone line because the whole system is based on radio wave transmission. This works when signals are transmitted from masts across the area to small aerials on the houses.
A back-up system is in place so if one of the masts does not work, another will transmit the signal.
Wireless…

Mansfield in Nottingham could soon become the first town in the UK to enjoy free wireless internet (Wi-Fi) thanks to crowdfunding.
Funded entirely by members of the public and local businesses, Mansfield’s Business Improvement District (BID) and the Mansfield District Council (MDC) hope to install free Wi-Fi transmitters on lampposts across the town.
This would provide free coverage to anyone in the area. It will be a way for users to find out about local events and special deals from businesses in the town through the use of Quick Response (QR)…

Wireless internet networks are becoming more colourful and inventive by name according to the database company OpenSignalMaps.
While it is still more common to have something like “The Jones Family” some residents prefer to be more creative with theirs, using them like a text message to show their irritation.
Searching for an available network, a local will now find a range of choices for them to observe, from “Stop Stealing My Newspaper” or “Your Music Is Terrible” to “Shut The Barking Dog Up No 7”.
For those broadband sneak thieves, some network…

You might remember Broadbanwatcher reporting on the good deeds that Allpay Broadband was trying to achieve. You also might have noticed that things have gone quiet ever since.
The good thing is that Allpay admitted that it took some time for the provider to get where it is now. No matter, Broadbanwatcher says, as long as the ISP is closer to the finish line.
In more detail, Allpay, which specialises in fixed Wi-Fi, announced that their broadband services are to go live any day now in Peterchurch, Garway as well as…

Good news comes to all who are tired of Wi-Fi routers which are swallowing up broadband speeds. This is because the device acts as a middle man of the sorts. It is wired to the broadband connection and sends out signals which your laptop then catches – at a cost. Thick walls, electrical equipment, doors – all slow down broadband speeds.
However now Sky thinks that it has found a solution, well actually made one. How about a wireless router which is “designed and built by Sky’s in-house engineering team”…

It’s official, everyone. 4G has now landed in Reading, Swindon and Southwark.
A word of caution though, to access the network, users are required to have special 4G-capable devices, such as dongles or smartphones which should be able to catch and read the signals. Users can’t use 4G without these.
According to UK Broadband’s CEO, Nicholas James, 4G was just like the doctor ordered for businesses and generally for the economy:
“Being always connected is now an essential requirement in today’s business and increasingly cloud-based world. It can be extremely damaging if…

Good news comes to the residents of Thirsk (based in Hambleton), as Wi-Fi specialist and Internet Service Provider, I Love Broadband, a part of LN Communications, was given the green light to expand its reach and blanket the town.
