Assington Green near Sudbury has a fast broadband service but not thanks to a promised mobile mast that has never materialised; it's down to a receiver mounted on the pub roof.
The broadband signal is then transmitted wirelessly to houses and businesses via receivers mounted on external walls. The pub was used because it's one of the highest points in the village.
Now the local MP has called for an industry summit in a debate in the House of Commons with the aim of tackling so-called "not spots"; places, predominantly rural, that are still without mobile or broadband coverage.
"In Assington Green, near Cavendish, people were very excited about the new mast, but it has died, it is finished, and it is not going to happen.
"It did not reach the deadline date, and we do not even know why; communication has been extremely poor.
"The minister's staff have been very helpful when I have emailed them questions about the masts, but there is no updating process and nothing to let us know what is happening," said Mr Cartlidge.
Although the MP was pleased at progress in Hitcham, which is likely to have a new mast by March, he asked for more time to build support for a mast in Boxford, another "not spot".
MPs made the point that the contrast between town and country was marked, where in rural areas people often have to follow Assington Green's example and pay for it themselves.
Another MP from the east, Lucy Frazer, asked why it is that rural areas less important, when the rural economy is worth £400 billion.
More and more voices in Westminster are being raised over the roll out of superfast broadband but in many rural communities the clock is still ticking.
