Openreach has unveiled 59 new locations that will benefit from ultrafast broadband, adding to the existing 46 locations around Britain. Ultrafast broadband includes Gfast and FTTP.
Aberdeen, Bury, Taunton and Market Harborough are among the new locations which make up the next phase of the programme and will provide ultrafast broadband to more than 370,000 homes and businesses across the country.
Kim Mears, MD for Strategic Infrastructure Development, said: "Britons are using their home broadband connections more than ever, consuming more than double the amount of data than they did just three years ago.
"A mass of new apps and services which demand higher quality broadband connections are becoming parts of our daily lives in our homes and at work - like virtual and augmented reality and more sophisticated online gaming, education and healthcare. That's why we're making this huge investment in upgrading the network, to make sure we stay a step ahead of that demand."
