The West Wales communities of Reynoldston, Saundersfoot, Llanpumsaint and Bronwydd Arms, Cilcennin in Ceredigion and Gwytherin in North Wales will soon have broadband thanks to an extension of the Assembly Government's Regional Innovative Broadband Support (RIBS) contract with BT.

WalesOnline reports that BT's Openreach division, which is responsible for ensuring that all rival operators and ISPs have equality of access to BT's local network, will not only do the work but also fund half of the project:


It's understood that the new coverage should bring broadband services to 1,000 residents and businesses within related areas. Further coverage information will surface on the Welsh Governments RIBS Page as and when it becomes available.
