BOURNEMOUTH broadband users will get their money’s worth when the town becomes a Fibrecity next year, experts say.
Ofcom recently found most customers only get around half the advertised speeds, which Fibrecity Holdings are blaming on old copper networks.
Elfed Thomas, CEO of the i3 Group that owns Fibrecity Holdings, says: “The latest UK broadband speeds are simply a result of the inadequate infrastructure that exists in this country, and the market is being constrained by three or four players who are misleading the public.
“There are only small pockets of households that currently have true fibre to the home – though this will change.”
More than one million homes will be connected to the open access Fibrecity network over the next four years, starting with homes in Bournemouth.
