Jonathan Edwards, MP for Carmarthenshire East & Dinefwr visited Openreach engineers as 35% of premises across his constituency now have access to fibre.
Edwards visited the telephone exchange in Carmarthen to look at where the Openreach network for a large part of his constituency starts.
Then it was on to Llangunnor, where the MP was able to try his hand at joining two bits of fibre cable together.
“This much needed technology will enable us to compete with other areas from across the UK as it’ll enable more people to work from home and help attract investment,” said Edwards.
Geraint James, Rural Engagement Manager for Openreach in Wales, said: “We welcomed the opportunity to give Jonathan Edwards MP a step-by-step demonstration of our technology.”
