Good news! Cambridgeshire County Council has today signed the contract with BT that means our businesses and communities will have some of the best fibre broadband coverage in the country by the end of 2015.
The next step is to undertake detailed planning work with BT to draw up the roll-out plans.
Once we’ve worked this through we will be able to publicise more details.
