Small town residents lay their own fiberoptic cabling

Residents in a small town in north england have started laying their own fiberoptic cables themselves.
When BT refused them broadband, Cybermoor was created and houses were soon being hooked up to the wireless broadband.
Deciding Cybermoor needed an upgrade, volunteers for the town were recruited to help.
By the end of the year the project is expected to be finished. Residents can expect speeds of 20Mbps, via the cable and a microwave link to Newcastle, rising to 100Mbps when Cybermoor can afford the 100Mbps backhaul connection.
