Superfast broadband is coming – check if you’re included!
As part of a “Connecting Devon & Somerset” project, network provider Airband is under contract to provide high-speed fibre broadband connectivity (FTTP) to premises with slow connections and is working on rollout in our area.
To find out whether or not your property is included, visit the www.airband.co.uk website. Enter your postcode into any of the “check availability” boxes. The website will return one of three messages:
- ‘Great News you can get superfast broadband’ that is referring to fixed wireless but this is not made clear.
- ‘Your address is part of the Connecting Devon and Somerset (CFS) funded project’ this means you are due to get FTTP.
- ‘You’re one step closer to the getting connected’ it means Airband are building in your approximate area and you may get offered a connection, but your premise isn’t in the CDS contract.
You can register your interest with Airband using the website.
In addition, South Hams District Council has established a Community Broadband initiative to identify digital connectivity solutions to homes/businesses struggling with poor broadband. There is more information here: https://southhams.gov.uk/community-broadband
