Upgrade

Openreach is continuing to roll out faster broadband across the UK, and has connected around 8,000 residents in Barnet to its upgraded network, improving digital access to essential services.

Openreach has called for easier broadband upgrades to give tenants in flats and apartments the legal right to request better internet access in the same way they can request pets, to prevent a new digital divide.

LightSpeed has connected 2,700 more homes and businesses in Cromer and Sheringham that will now benefit from speeds of up to 2Gbps, helping to increase internet connection quality in the county's suburban areas. 

Node4 has begun a major core network upgrade that will deliver a tenfold bandwidth increase facilitated by a new partnership with Virgin Media Business Wholesale.
