Burley can WIN the Race to Infinity – but only with YOUR vote!
Many Burley in Wharfedale residents will have been reading about the ‘iburley‘ campaign for faster broadband for Burley. BT have announced that the five exchanges with the highest level of support will be enabled, when they wouldn’t be otherwise.
So what’s the issue?
- Burley waits for everything. Broadband, Channel 5. Digital radio. Digital television. Carrier pigeons*. Most people have forgotten now that it was community campaigning and Bradford Council support that got us Broadband in the first place. Without that, we’d be stuck on dial-up.
- Today’s broadband is tomorrow’s dial-up: obsolete and out-of-date. If we don’t get the next generation service, in a few years time Burley will be back in the internet dark age
- Upgrading the exchange won’t happen without this. OK, it might eventually, but not for many, many years. This isn’t a timing issue. It;’s a yes/no issue
- Even if you’re not bothered at the moment, many of your friends and neighbours will be. Please support them and support Burley
- Campaigners have worked really hard and Burley deserves to win, and we can win. Don’t let your vote be the one that could have made that critical difference.
Burley is currently 4th out of 2,475. We need to stay in the top 5, but some exchanges are already 70% voted. This means we need EVERY vote to win – and that means you!
Please visit www.racetoinfinity.bt.com and vote today – it literally does only take minute…. and for years to come, will save your hours!
