Fibrespeed and eXwavia Bring Faster Wireless Broadband to Powys in Wales UK
Posted: 26th Jan, 2012 By: MarkJ
FibreSpeed, which operates a superfast fibre optic network in North Wales (UK), has joined forces with Welshpool-based ISP Exwavia to bring faster wireless ( Wi-Fi ) broadband speeds into the Cefn Coch and Adfa areas of Powys. Some 68 previously isolated local homes and businesses can now receive a minimum internet download speed of 4Mbps (Megabits per second) via their wireless connections and more are expected to follow.
Pete Jones, Owner of the local Red Ridge Centre, said:
"There are a number of major businesses in Cefn Coch and Adfa who have been struggling for years because of the poor connection."

Annette Burgess, Managing Director of eXwavia, added:
"The people of Cefn Coch and Adfa have refused to accept poor broadband. As a community they have pulled together and now they are about to reap the rewards."

Prices for the new service start at £20 per month, although the set-up costs can range up to around £1,000! Happily many of the locals were able to take advantage of the Welsh Government's (WG) Broadband Support Scheme (details), which offers grants worth up to £1k for those with speeds that are consistently below 2Mbps.
