BT have won another two government funded superfast broadband contacts, so far ensuring a 100 percent take of all government broadband contracts.

The two new contracts will see BT provide increased broadband capabilities across Devon and Somerset, with the aim to provide high speed broadband to 90 percent of all residents by 2016.

The project has been valued at £94 million with a further £35.6 million coming from another fibre optic project in Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire.

Communications minister Ed Vaizey said: "It's projects like Connecting Devon and Somerset, the largest of all the English local authority projects, that will help achieve the government's aim for the UK to have the best broadband in Europe by 2015."
