It will revolutionise what we do. We “Fast, have 20 now and superfast broadband will make a huge difference to their day-to-day work. The fast technology will open up a huge of new learning opportunities to the organisation and facilitate our transition to e-learning and distance learning. We’ll also be able to introduce new learning programmes and our staff will be able to access all kinds of online support.” Kirsty MacCormick, Manager, Cothrom Community Centre, Scotland. Reaching remote areas UK homes and businesses still unable to access fibre include some of the premises that are hardest to reach. But we don’t let tough terrain or difficult conditions get in the way. We’re coming up with innovative ways to get even the most remote communities connected. For example, we’re bringing superfast broadband to some rural areas for the first time with our 4GEE Home Antenna service (see quote below). In customer trials in the Northern Fells area of Cumbria, this service delivered speeds of more than 100Mbps across our mobile networks. We estimate up to 580,000 homes across the UK could benefit. We’re also using drones to get fibre to hard-to-reach places (see case study) and to help us make critical equipment deliveries for maintenance or repairs in remote places like the Scottish Highlands and Islands during bad weather. and reliable internet is just as essential in the countryside as it is in urban areas, but unfortunately “Fast it is not currently as widely available. This is a major issue for everyday life at home for example, – students rely on decent internet for research, parents need to bank online and thousands of rural families are missing out on a wealth of on-demand entertainment.
