What's a "not spot"?

The County Council Has secured funding to enable those premises that can’t currently order better broadband. These are known as "not spots" as opposed to "hot spots". Ho-ho.

Anyway, Planning is now underway for this follow-on phase of the fibre broadband rollout programme to be delivered from spring 2016. If you contact your service provider (ie BT or AOL or whoever) and ask for a Fibre based package to deliver superfast broadband, if they reply that it isn't available in your location, then you may be in a not-spot. 

You need to email Connecting Cambridgeshire (copied to me optionally as Broadband Champion please) with the post code and they can add it to list of places where they need to boost the connections. But you do have to talk to your service provider first!
