BT have revealed that more than one million South West homes and businesses will have access to super-fast broadband by the end of next year. Some of the communities to be added to the roll out include Bedminster, Bishopsworth, Eastville, Henbury and Kingswood.
Barbara Janke, Bristol City Council leader, said:
“Bristol is well-known as a digital leader amongst cities. It is very welcome news that more communities and companies across Bristol are going to have access to super-fast broadband. The investment means faster connections, better access to online services and more incentive for people to get online.
“We are keen to work with partner providers such as BT to make sure the infrastructure is there for our companies to thrive and grow, and all our residents have the opportunities to benefit from using the internet.”
