LightSpeed Broadband is Ruining Tamworth
Our streets and gardens are being scarred by towering poles and tangled wires—all for a cheap, outdated broadband rollout. Tamworth deserves better.
How Lightspeed Changed Tamworth
Tamworth, once a peaceful and picturesque town, is now being ravaged by Lightspeed Broadband’s disruptive infrastructure rollout. In a rush to provide broadband to residents, Lightspeed has erected unsightly poles and a tangled mess of overhead wires in residential areas, including right outside people’s windows.
Lightspeed Broadband in Tamworth
Why are telegraph poles being installed in Tamworth?
Lightspeed Broadband claims this method is faster and cheaper, but many residents feel it damages the area’s visual appeal.
What alternatives to overhead poles and wires are available?
Other broadband providers, like BT and Virgin Media, have successfully buried cables underground, preserving the visual appeal of the area and reducing the environmental impact.
Can I oppose the installation in my neighbourhood?
Yes, you can voice your concerns through local petitions and direct communication with the council.
What are the environmental impacts of overhead cables?
Overhead cables can disrupt local ecosystems and reduce the aesthetic quality of green spaces.
