What Canterbury Residents Need from Their Broadband

For families in Canterbury, a reliable broadband connection means homework gets done without the frustration of pages failing to load, Netflix runs smoothly on the TV while someone games upstairs, and a parent can take a work call from home without dropped audio.

Broadband in Canterbury, Kent

Situated in Kent, Canterbury is a city that — like so many communities across , England — has seen growing demand for faster, more reliable broadband. The heart and focus of the city is Canterbury Cathedral. Canterbury stood before the Romans came in the 1st century AD, and since then it has been a Roman town, then the capital of the Kingdom of Kent, a major mediaeval town and now a provincial city. After Kent accepted Christianity in 597, St Augustine founded an episcopal see in the city and became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The cathedral was completely rebuilt from 1070 to 1077 and developed in ensuing centuries. The murder of Thomas Becket in 1170 led to the cathedral becoming a popular place of pilgrimage. The city abounds in historical buildings, including a city wall founded in Roman times, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle. The 6th-century St Martin's Church is the oldest church in Britain still in use as a church. It was originally the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent, A†thelberht's Christian Frankish Queen. The city is within the council area of Canterbury (Kent). Pop Telecom works with multiple network providers to ensure Canterbury residents get the best available connection at their postcode.
