Cornish economy to benefit from high speed broadband

Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly will benefit from high speed fibre broadband access in a £132 million project announced today by BT and Cornwall Council.

BT said that the goal is to provide between 80 and 90 per cent of local businesses and homes access to super-fast fibre broadband by 2014.

Fibre to the premise (FTTP) technology will be a key part of the roll out and around half of local businesses and homes will have access to it.

FTTP delivers speeds of up to 100Mbps and will transform the competitiveness of local businesses, the company said.
