Ffordd Bedd Morris Needs are changing all the time, said a spokesperson for the project. Take home schooling and the working from home revolution that has happened during Covid-19, for example. Full Fibre is a way of future-proofing your broadband service, and self-funding an upgrade further down the line could be costly. An ultra-fast connection can also increase the value of your property and through this project it might even cost less than your current, much slower, service. It is vitally important that even those who may currently enjoy a good connection, sign up to the project so they don’t miss out.
