A leaflet drop backing The Bradley Stoke Examiner’s broadband campaign is to be delivered to homes in more than 50 roads in the town.
The Conservative’s In Touch publication calls on residents to back our push to convince Virgin Media to cable the remaining streets here.
Those areas were not covered with the cable firm’s high-speed network which was rolled out to only half of Bradley Stoke.
At a photo shoot, which was filmed by the BBC’s Politics Show, Councillor Rob Jones (pictured) began delivering the leaflets in Juniper Way.
He, along with Cllr John Ashe, said: “The Examiner’s campaign for faster broadband has received the backing of many residents.
“As councillors we will do all we can to add support to their calls for faster broadband.”
The campaign, which has also featured in the Bristol Evening Post and The Guardian, will also feature on the BBC.
Sunday’s local edition of the Politics Show will feature a report on the terrible speeds suffered by some residents of Bradley Stoke.

Its difficult to think of such things with the news of Micheal Jacksons passing.

When are these leaflets being “dropped” i haven’t seen one yet, unless it was put straight into the recycling bag without me seeing?

Luke, it is going to take a little while to get around everyone – they only started delivering the leaflets on Sunday.

I received my leaflet today. Whoever wrote it misspelled your website sadleybroke.com

The leaflet suggests emailing Cablemystreet@virginmedia.com which doesn’t work, the emails just bounce. You need to email cablemystreet@virginmedia.co.uk as mentioned in the story above. It looks like you may need to send some new leaflets out.

Hi Barry, not guilty. Don’t know who posted them around but they’re not from us. Shame about the typos but good to see others taking up the campaign!

Just looking at other broadband options as my current Madasafish contract finishes soon. O2 and BE unavailable due to distance issues from Filton exchange!
Will still wait to see outcome of VM rollout.

Also tried TalkTalk and they told me that they can guarantee 2Mb but when the order confirmation came through it had changed to 800Kb!
