Superfast Broadband Hits 70,000 Homes and Business in Cheshire

Superfast broadband has reached more than 70,000 homes and businesses in Cheshire after a partnership between BT and four Cheshire councils was established in a bid to boost speeds across the county.

The Connecting Cheshire project, which will reach 96% coverage by the end of the year, is providing residential and commercial properties access to broadband speeds of up to 300Mbps. The roll-out has greatly benefited rural communities, who previously were unable to access such a service.

Councillor Michael Jones, leader of Cheshire East Council, said:

"We are well on our way to connecting 80,000 premises across Cheshire.

"The roll-out of superfast broadband is going to benefit rural communities significantly; it is great to see so many people have taken up faster broadband.

"We urge everyone to check their availability and upgrade to superfast broadband as it offers many fantastic benefits for your home or business."

According to a new report, all future new-build homes in Cheshire must have access to high-speed broadband.
