Six communities voted to get super fast broadband through on line poll will be getting faster broadband confirmed by BT.

The "Race to Infinity" that took place on small towns and villages in about one fourth of its national network has given petition to BT for getting included in its ongoing fibre optic rollout. They would otherwise be overlooked, because BT has calculated that their small populations won't be able to give a return on such an investment.

The CEO of BT Retail, Gavin Patterson, congratulated the winners and commiserated those who haven't been successful, and stated that all their efforts did not go waste because their votes will help influence BT's plans for the future

Baschurch in Shropshire, Blewbury in Oxfordshire, Whitchurch in Hampshire, Caxton in Cambridgeshire, Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders and Madingley in Cambridgeshire are the six areas which emerged out winners and every BT customers in the mentioned areas voted their wish of faster broadband connection.

They will receive the connections in early 2012. More than three hundred and sixty thousand votes were cast.

The Race to Infinity was decided in accordance to the ratio of lines connected to each exchange for which a vote was taken. With hundred per cent each, the six winners were unbeatable.

Barrow-In-Furness in Cumbria and Malvern in Worcestershire are the areas that deserve an upgrade more than some of the winners, having more than twenty three thousand and fifteen thousand lines respectively. None of the winning areas has more than three thousand lines.

In raw votes cast, both the areas are amongst the top six, but as there were fewer than twelve per cent of BT customers in each of those two communities showing an interest in faster broadband, for the recent future they got stuck on ADSL.
