Sir – I read with interest the news that parts of Oxfordshire were about to get super-fast broadband, but noted with dismay that no mention was made of the Vale of the White Horse and, in particular, Wantage, where the reception is quite appalling and seems to be getting worse each year.

Since the provision of a decent broadband service throughout the country has been presented as part of the Government’s manifesto for some years now, the ongoing delay in supplying an adequate service is most disappointing.
