A Cwmbran broadband campaign?

Is there anything we can do to get Cwmbran out of the “top 50 slowest broadband areas in the UK” It’s quite a maze out there to find out how to get the best deal and how to find out why or when a provider decides to upgrade speed. What suggestions do you have for a campaign to increase the town’s online speed?

The Broadband Streetstats website is a handy way to find out what speed providers are offering in your area.
