Two County Derry residents have voiced their frustration after a data error meant they were left out of a list of premises due a broadband upgrade under a £165 million government plan.
Both addresses had been placed on the Department for the Economy (DfE)'s original 'white postcode' list and should have been eligible for the government scheme, awarded to internet provider Fibrus.
However, when they ran their addresses through the Fibrus 'postcode checker' in January 2021, they were shocked to receive a message informing them they were not eligible for the upgrade.
