Villagers say they have finally been brought into the 21st Century after being linked to high-speed broadband.
For years Pandy residents have had to put up with internet speeds of about 1MB per second, limited mobile phone signal and no 4G.
Now after campaigning for improved communication, half of the village in Wrexham county are connected.
Villager Alison Bendall said: Words can t express really how wonderful it is to finally be connected.
Previously she struggled to video call grandchildren in England, but now has speeds of more than 400MB per second. Although a lot of the village are not connected yet it is literally days away.
SO now we learn that the Government’s commitment to 100 per cent super-fast broadband is to be scaled back to 85 per cent and that even that is unlikely to be met. A fortnight ago we read about Bradford that there was to be a “£75m investment in city’s broadband”. My initial sense of ‘at last’ was quickly dashed when I followed the lead to register an interest with City Fibre, the initiative which will deliver “next-generation broadband”. When I entered our postcode I was told that “we haven’t planned your area at the moment”. What is it about Keighley that condemns us to live in a technological backwater?
Seven-year project to bring high speed broadband to more of Cumbria is complete A seven-year project to bring superfast broadband to more than 127,000 homes and businesses in Cumbria has now been completed. Connecting Cumbria, a project run in partnership between Cumbria County Council and Openreach, has been an ambitious scheme to deliver high speed broadband internet connections to communities across Cumbria. The scheme has helped to ensure nearly 95 per cent of all properties in the county can now access higher speed internet connections, of at least 24mbps. Throughout the lifetime of the project, Openreach engineers have put in place 107 exchanges, built roughly 1,000 fibre structures, erected hundreds of new telegraph poles and laid thousands of kilometres of underground fibre optic cables.
