Over 98% of Gloucestershire homes and businesses can now access a superfast broadband connection, through one of the first types of UK projects of its kind that started in 2012 to increase superfast coverage in the county.

Wildanet will connect close to 17,000 homes and businesses in Cornwall to its full fibre network.
The altnet has partnered with Nokia to accelerate the rollout and will leverage Xantaro’s street cabinet and exchange solutions.
This incorporates Nokia OLT, VIAVI centralised OTDR test head, Out of Band (OOB) Management solution, iLOQ features and more.
Xantaro will also provide professional services to Wildanet, to ensure a professionally configured network with minimal disruption.
Stephen Kingdom, CTO of Fixed Networks at Xantaro, said: “Drawing on our extensive experience with altnets across the UK and our longstanding partnership with Nokia, we will work with Wildanet to accelerate the deployment of fibre and essential connectivity to underserved communities.”
