Abthorpe Broadband Association Limited - a not-for-profit limited by guarantee company - has been delivering broadband to the communities of Abthorpe and Slapton since 2003. The work to deliver superfast broadband to the upper Tove Valley - from Foscote and Bradden to Wappenham and Weston - was completed at the end of March 2015, costing about £230,000. We received £108,658 in grant from the government and European Union's Rural Communities Broadband Fund towards these costs. Since then the voluntary organisation has been connecting houses to fibre-optic broadband with up to 1,000Mbps unrestricted symmetrical service to our Members. In late 2021 there were around 250 such connections, funded by the government's Rural Gigabit Voucher Scheme. Tove Valley Broadband or TVB as it has come to be known, brings a very fast 10,000Mbps symetrical fibre-optic service backed up by an auxilliary 1,000Mbps into the villages and distributes connections to properties by fibre-optics or by radio. Our service is unrestricted but Members sign up to a "fair use" agreement.
