TWYFORD is getting a broadband boost as Openreach makes plans to extend its Full Fibre network.
The internet provider is improving connections to 580,000 homes and businesses in the South East as part of a £232 million programme — and the village is one of its top priorities.
Across Berkshire, Openreach will bring faster internet speeds to 135,000 homes with the majority in Twyford, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Windsor and Ascot.
The firm will update 15 exchanges, and also improve some connections in Crowthorne, Spencers Wood, Wargrave, Wokingham and Woodley.
It comes after Openreach revealed last month it will connect an additional 360,000 properties in the South East, too.
Connie Dixon, the company’s regional director for the South East, said: “We’re reaching more communities than ever and our team of highly skilled engineers, alongside our build partners, are working hard to deliver some of the fastest and most reliable broadband anywhere in the world.”
The scheme forms part of the Government’s target of delivering ‘gigabit capable’ broadband to 85% of the UK by 2025.
