The UK Government’s Project Gigabit scheme, which aims to improve connectivity in hard-to-reach areas, has been expanded further into rural parts of North and East Yorkshire. The latest rollout extends to rural communities around Barnsley, Huddersfield, Hull, Bradford, York, and smaller villages in both Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. "Through Project Gigabit, we're proud to be working alongside the UK Government to bring gigabit-capable broadband to rural communities across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. "More than 60,000 homes and businesses can now access gigabit-capable broadband through our Project Gigabit rollout, while, in total, our full fibre network now reaches some 260,000 premises across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire." Project Gigabit has already helped upgrade more than 1.3 million premises across the UK.
