Broadband rollout update: April 18
Over the past month we have been working hard with our partner Openreach and Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) to resolve some of the more complex issues we’ve experienced as part of phase 2 of the fibre broadband deployment, which have delayed the rollout in some areas.
Whilst the issues are complex, good progress has been made and we hope to agree a target delivery date for the remainder of the Phase 2 deployment by the end of this month.
