More than 70,000 homes and offices in Devon and Somerset will get super-fast broadband by the end of July.
It comes from a £94 million project called Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS), which partnered with BT a year ago. 19 exchanged have already been upgraded, and seven are due to go online by the end of March.
The latest exchanges that have gone live are Braunton, Kingskerswell, Pinhoe, Sowton, Swimbridge, Spaxton, Topsham, and North Pertherton. Although they are mostly rural areas, there are and will be some urban areas too.
The CDS project aims to make 24Mbps broadband available to at least 90% of all residents in Devon and Cornwall by 2016.
Although affected by flooding, they have said that the teams are working around the floods and doing the best they can.
More than 16,000 homes and businesses are already connected, are you?
