Superfast Broadband Goes Underground to Wookey Hole Caves, Somerset

5th Aug 2015 (2 Comments)

No, it’s not Chewbacca’s home. The Connecting Devon and Somerset project has just expanded BT’s “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) network to reach an underground system of caves called the Wookey Hole Caves, although this is more of a fringe benefit as the main focus has been to connect 200 premises in the associated rural village of Wookey Hole.
