What Reliable Broadband Unlocks in Old Oscott

The rise of 4K streaming has quietly raised the bar for what 'decent broadband' means. Standard HD requires around 5Mbps; 4K needs 25Mbps or more. Add multiple devices and simultaneous users, and the average Old Oscott household probably needs considerably more bandwidth than they imagine.

Broadband in Old Oscott, Staffordshire

Old Oscott is a urban locality in Staffordshire. The hamlet, first recorded in the 13th century, lay in the Perry Barr division of the ancient parish of Handsworth. Following the Act of Toleration of 1689, a Roman Catholic mission was set up on the slopes of Oscott Hill. The manor house was rebuilt as St Mary's Institute (extant) which from 1794 became a school for both the training of priests and the education of lay pupils. The school moved to to a new site in 1838, the new site becoming known as New Oscott and original hamlet as Old Oscott. The area around the hamlet was developed for housing in the 1930s and is now usually considered to be part of the larger Great Barr suburban area. Old Oscott is within the council area of Birmingahm. Broadband needs in Old Oscott are no different to anywhere else in modern Britain: fast, reliable, and priced fairly — without the mid-contract price rises that have become a frustrating hallmark of the larger providers.
