Increase the internet speeds in rural areas in the south west of England
The Government could fund the production of installation
of fibre cables under the roads, to have a more stable and faster connection in rural areas. As we only reach speeds on average around 20-50 mega bits per second unlike areas such as Bournemouth who reach 200+ mega bits per second.
This challenge has faced the South west for a long time. Only in the last 6 years were we able to upgrade to fibre optic, however. This is not fibre optic into our houses only to the local area and more people are working from home meaning files and data coming across the internet will only increase and the rural areas are getting left behind technologically. I want the government to realise all parts of the country should be treated equally.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The Government is already providing such funding in some areas, you can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as calling on the Government to provide funding for specific council areas, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
