Full fibre is heading to more than 230,000 homes and businesses across the West Midlands.
Towns that will get the improved technology include Blackheath, Cradley Heath, Halesowen, Lye, Smethwick and Stourbridge in the Black Country.
They join more than 1.25 million homes and businesses across the region who already have access to the broadband technology, thanks to Openreach’s work. “We won’t be stopping either. We plan to build even further across the region, to more cities and towns, and our most rural communities. “Openreach’s network offers the widest choice of providers such as BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and Zen – which means people have lots of choice and can get a great deal.”
