Today (16th July 2015) Telford & Wrekin Council launched its fibre broadband programme for the Borough.
As I predicted before this scheme involves an agreement with OpenReach (BT wholesale) to provide fibre broadband access to those areas of the Borough where there is no other solution; in effect a package for some 9,300 properties.
Funded by central government through the BDUK function of the Department of Culture Media & Sport, the adminstration is claiming this will lead to 98% coverage of the whole Borough by 2017. A laudable aim, we will have to wait to discover what and when is in effect delivered.
