What the petition asks
Government/local council to fund bringing fibre to copper lines (FTTC) or fibre to house (true fibre) in the upper high green Area in Sheffield.
Open reach will not put the monies forward to extend faster and more stable Internet speeds to high green and will only install if community/business or government funded. We have unstable and intermittent lines on adsl. It's impossible to watch or stream programmes online or for children to to use online media for homework. We need to be brung into modern times and not left behind.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
