RSS

An easy way to keep up-to-date with all the latest developments

RSS (really simple syndication) is a method of choosing content and having it delivered directly to you. Much like choosing a television channel, the RSS feed from Cambridge Broadband Networks provides a channel that you can monitor along with your other favourite sources, without having to trawl through the web to find the latest information. When we update our site with news and events, you'll know about it.

Where are the RSS feeds?

When you have chosen your news reader you are ready to subscriber to an RSS feed. As you look through the Cambridge Broadband Networks web site you'll notice that certain areas have the RSS feed button. This indicates that the page has an RSS feed to which you can subscribe.

Typically, web sites offer URI feed to pages that often change; for example news pages. Cambridge Broadband Networks provide RSS feed for the following areas of the web site
