Openreach has started work to bring the next generation of fibre broadband technology to Denbigh. The FTTP (Fibre-to-the-premises) infrastructure will not only bring fast and reliable broadband connection to the area but will also future-proof homes and businesses for decades to come. 

 

The scheme promises download speeds of 1Gbps, which is some of the fastest broadband speeds in Europe and is up to 10 times faster than the average home broadband connection. 

 

Denbighshire County Council’s Leader, Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, said: “Improving broadband infrastructure was identified as a priority by the Council prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and we are pleased to be working with Openreach to help achieve this.”

 

“During the pandemic, the internet has become even more important in terms of how we do our shopping, help our children with their school work, how it enables us to work from home and to help our local businesses to succeed, so having fast, reliable broadband is essential

 

“I’m delighted to see the work and investment that Openreach is putting into Denbigh and other areas. Denbigh has a rich past and we’re fortunate to have many historic buildings so it was reassuring to see how Openreach are taking this into consideration by sympathetically building its fibre network across the town.”

 

Openreach’s Chief Engineer’s Lead in Wales. Suzanne said: “At Openreach, we’ll never be just a city fibre builder.”

 

“We’re very proud to be able to say that nobody in Wales or the rest of the UK is building full fibre faster, further or at a higher quality than Openreach. We’re reaching more communities than ever and our team of highly-skilled local engineers, are working hard to deliver some of the fastest and most reliable broadband available anywhere in the world.

 

“We were delighted to be able to show what’s being done to build and connect Denbigh to our full fibre network and outline the benefits that full fibre offers.”

 

“People also need to remember that upgrades are not automatic, so I’d encourage residents of Denbigh and the wider community to see if they can take advantage of this new technology by visiting our fibre checker website - www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband .”
