The rollout in the hamlet of Bapton marks a significant milestone under the Project Gigabit programme, aimed at providing ultrafast broadband connectivity to rural areas, ensuring they are not left behind.
Government efforts have led to nearly 82% of properties in the UK now having access to gigabit broadband, a major leap from just 7% five years ago, demonstrating the success of the initiative.
By 2024, over £1.3 billion has been invested in Project Gigabit, which aims for 85% gigabit-capable connectivity by the end of 2025 and full coverage by 2030.
Wessex Internet's initiative in South Wiltshire is expected to benefit around 14,500 rural homes and businesses, expanding digital access in a region that has historically faced connectivity challenges.
