The Parish Council and associated Community Group of Tatenhill have been deliberating about whether to provide a direct subsidy to customers towards installation and whether they will as originally promised, provide a contribution to the infrastructure costs. (£6000)

During this time Kijoma has been subsidising the installation cost for the initial orders so the rate was £80 (standard installs). We have also installed all the infrastructure at our cost.

On the evening of the 10th of August, the Parish Council met and decided to provide a limited subsidy direct to confirmed customers but the original offer to contribute to the infrastructure was withdrawn.

To this effect Kijoma can no longer subsidise the installation side to the same extent as we have to keep the "Return on Investment" period realistic.

The installation rate will therefore increase to £140 (effectively £80 after the Council subsidy) for new orders with standard installations. Existing orders will be honoured at £80 and can still claim the subsidy, reducing their bill to £20. Those who originally ordered then declined when it came to installation will be charged at the new rate if they decide to re-order.

£140 is still a Kijoma subsidised rate as it remains less than the cost of installation.

We apologise for this but ultimately we were mislead by the Parish Council and their Letter of Intent did not result in its intended outcome.

Firstly, there was an outage in the Tatenhill Common area which affected 6 customers on Thursday(2nd August). We sincerely apologise for this and for the length of time it took for service to be restored.

Unfortunately, the very rare nature of the fault meant we had not as yet provided the training and equipment required to our local team in order that they could promptly resolve it.

The fault was repaired during a visit made by a Kijoma specialist on Friday evening and mechanisms have been put in place to prevent this mode of failure occurring again. We also provided training and equipment to the local team on Saturday so they are now able to resolve this, should it ever occur again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

More Coverage! Kijoma has expanded the coverage of the Network within Tatenhill parish. The area around the Grove, Woodlands, Branston Road and northwards into the village towards the church is now 'live' and our installation team are currently contacting those who have already registered to arrange installation.

We also cover parts of Branston and this includes Tatenhill Lane, near the excellent Italian eatery, The Bridge Inn

The Kijoma subsidised installation rate of £80 (Wi Fi Routers extra) is somewhat lower than it costs for us to install and cannot last forever. Please place your order now if you wish to take advantage of this limited time offer.

Stage 1 is complete, the new service feed is active and all existing customers have been migrated from the old system.
