ON the topic of broadband — your headline (September 27) 'Superfast (broadband) signals boost for economy', can I relate to readers my own experience with the broadband speed to our house at Yelverton?

Since this time last year our broadband had been dropping out at irregular but frequent intervals, despite Openreach engineers working hard to fix it.

Eventally, with executive intervention from BT, two more 'repairs' were made - and now the internet signal is at last constant. The problem is that whilst our near neighbours have an internet speed of 2 Mbps or even 3 Mbps if they live in Yelverton - and many of you will appreciate these are nothing to speak of —we have been left with a speed of 0.2 Mbps, (yes, the decimal is in the right place!).

At this speed my e-mail can just about scrape this note off the pc, and then reluctantly send the same onward to you. BT on behalf of Openreach, (for somehow they are still joined at the hip), say this is all they can do and so we wonder now, of your readers — have we been left with the slowest speed on Dartmoor?
