No net gains as BT snubs region

August 19th, 2010

RURAL campaigners have criticised BT for not including Suffolk in a list of places earmarked for broadband upgrades in the region.

BT announced this week that more than 74,000 homes and businesses in East Anglia will have access to faster broadband by next spring.

Customers will gain access to broadband speeds of up to 20 megabits per second – more than double the maximum speeds previously available to the majority of UK homes and businesses.

BT’s latest phase of upgrades includes installations in 13 communities including Manningtree and Harwich.
