The Connecting Cumbria superfast broadband project has at last received full Major Projects Approval from the European Commission - the last piece in the jigsaw for validating the contract with BT. Over the next 2½ years the Connecting Cumbria and BT project teams will work together to build the network necessary to allow all homes and businesses access to broadband speeds of not less than 2Mbps, with 93% properties having the opportunity to connect to superfast services. Initial preparation and survey work on the ground is already underway and draft plans for the rollout in each area are promised for the end of June.
