\n Openreach says more than 2,100 homes and businesses in the town are eligible to upgrade to full fibre, but less than half have made the switch.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company has invested \u00a3630,000 in a new full fibre network covering about 80 per cent of properties.\n<\/p>\n
\n Martin Williams, Openreach partnership director for Wales, said: “Fast and reliable full fibre broadband gives households and businesses a significant boost.\n<\/p>\n
\n “As the UK\u2019s leading provider of fibre infrastructure, Openreach is at the forefront of the digital transformation, connecting communities all over the UK and future-proofing the network for decades to come.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Our extensive network \u2013 the largest in the UK \u2013 means residents can shop around and find the best deals that suit their needs.\n<\/p>\n
\n “But it\u2019s important to remember that upgrades don\u2019t happen automatically.\n<\/p>\n
\n “People need to order it to take advantage of the technology.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Full fibre broadband offers faster, more reliable internet that can support multiple devices at gigabit speeds.\n<\/p>\n
