Since then, areas like Ash Mill, Kings Nympton, Tawstock, parts of Barnstaple, Newton Tracey and Braunton have all received extra attention from the Openreach team. The biggest and most challenging project has been the complete rollout of “Fibre To The Premises” in Lynton and Lynmouth which last week hit the 50% complete stage.
