Madeleine Moon MP - Working hard for Bridgend
Super-fast broadband, this exciting technology will be coming to the Bridgend Constituency, benefiting householders and businesses, says Madeleine Moon MP.
BT have advised me that they will shortly reveal the next locations where it will make super fast fibre broadband services available, which includes parts of the Bridgend constituency.
Areas served by the Bridgend telephone exchange, some of which are in the constituency, are being enabled for fibre based super-fast fibre broadband as part of the latest phase of this project. This will offer initial speeds of up to 40Mb/sec with the prospect of rising to 60Mb/sec.
Openreach is the division of BT responsible for the roll-out of this fibre-to-the-cabinet technology. Service providers will set the retail prices and offer service to consumers and businesses.
BT have just announced that more than 16,000 homes and businesses in central Cardiff and Taffs Well are set to be among the first in the UK to benefit from BT's £1.5 billion investment in super-fast broadband.
