The campaign, Make Kent Quicker, is being run by Kent County Council and aims to show Internet providers that there is a high demand for superfast broadband across Kent.
Thanet District Council is supporting the campaign to get improved broadband services in Thanet which will make a real difference for residents, schools and businesses.
More than 5,000 people have already signed up to say they want better broadband in Kent but many more are needed to ensure providers can see the demand for quicker services.
The ambition is for 90 per cent of homes and businesses to have superfast broadband access by 2015. Kent County Council and the Government are investing more than £20 million to help make this happen.
Cllr. Clive Hart, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, said: “The campaign is a great ambition for Kent and one that we fully support.
“We urge all residents to vote for faster broadband for Thanet to ensure that Internet providers see the high demand for this service in the local area and invest in the improvements.
“It only takes a few minutes to register your demand and every vote will make a massive difference to the potential to secure faster broadband for Thanet. Get your family, friends and neighbours involved too.”

After yesterday's town assembly in Broadstairs we're thinking of getting Councillor Chris Wells to run a speed-speaking course for all councillors. It would speed up everything in Thanet public life. He measurably speaks six times faster than everyone else on Broadstairs town council. Good idea?

DeleteThe town council might be doing a great job - I try to be positive about everything.....But sometimes it's hard.
