A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.

Openreach is urging residents in both Llanuwchllyn and Clynnog Fawr, Gwynedd to apply for free UK Government broadband vouchers.
With enough sign-ups, residents of both rural villages will join around 30,000 homes and businesses across Gwynedd (40% of regional premises) who already have access to full fibre broadband.
Using the vouchers enables Openreach to access government funding to build a customised, co-funded network that penetrates the harder-to-reach areas.
Martin Williams, Openreach’s Partnership Director for Wales, said: “We’re investing £15 billion to build full fibre broadband to 25 million homes and more than six million of those will be in the toughest third of the UK. This latest support from government is a vital part of that process.”
