Kent's broadband network will be transformed into a superfast service - but only if people say they want it.

Kent County Council has already invested £10m in the upgrade and the government has pledged £9.87m.

But broadband providers will only invest the remaining £23m needed to improve the county’s network if there is evidence of demand.

So KCC has launched the Make Kent Quicker campaign to register people's desire for faster broadband.

With service provider investment combined with public funding, it is estimated at least 90% of Kent's properties will be get superfast broadband by 2015. The remaining 10% would have basic access of at least 2MB.

Kevin Lynes, KCC cabinet member for regeneration and economic development, said: "I want to encourage anyone who does not have broadband, or who wants better broadband, to register with us and say they want better broadband.

"This is a great ambition for the whole of the county and it is one that we can achieve if broadband providers can be persuaded to invest.

"That is the final piece in the jigsaw - and it means we have to be able to demonstrate the demand for better broadband. The greater the demand, the more broadband providers will be prepared to invest in Kent.

To help show those providers the demand there is in the county, KCC has launched the Make Kent Quicker campaign.

"It only takes five minutes to register your demand and it could make a great difference, so please register now and encourage your neighbours to get involved as well."
