BT engineers have overcome unexpected challenges to bring faster fibre broadband to Symonds Yat.
On December 19, the Fastershire roll-out programme, announced home and businesses in Symonds Yat are the latest to benefit from faster broadband.
Engineers had to overcome a series of unexpected challenges after major blockages were found while they were trying to lay fibre optic cable under the A40. However, working with Herefordshire Council’s Highways Department and the Highways Agency, engineers were able to complete the necessary work, without having to close or dig up the A40.
Work continues across the county. You can follow the progress of the roll-out via the Fastershire website: www.fastershire.com and Fastershire’s Facebook page: facebook.com/fastershire.
