Orbital Net to pipe WiMax into Folkestone 
It seems as though Kent has become the UK’s answer to Silicon Valley – after seeing Virgin Media choose the area as it’s test bed for the new 50Mbps service, and BT trialling next-gen 100Mbps broadband, telecoms group Orbital Net are about to deploy broadband services via WiMax in and around the Folkstone area.
This new network will see Orbital Net’s footprint covering practically all of Kent, (WiMax is already available in Ashford, Maidstone, Canterbury and Thanet) and will see businesses able to enjoy wireless broadband speeds of up to 10Mbps, and residential subscribers able to apply for services offering speeds of 2Mbps and above.
