Three companies have been selected to roll-out full fibre broadband networks on behalf of the Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) programme, backed by Government funding.
Airband, Truespeed and Wessex Internet will be installing full fibre broadband across Devon, including large parts of East Devon, and Somerset to more than 56,000 rural homes and businesses over the next four years.
The combined public and private sector investment of around £80million will be in the vanguard of the Government’s ambitions to build a Gigabit capable network across the UK.
The three companies all have experience of working in the region and, between them, have already delivered connections to nearly 41,000 premises in the CDS region.
