Over 100,000 Welsh businesses and homes now have access to superfast broadband under the government funded rollout.

The £57 million programme is on track to reach 96 per cent of all homes and businesses in Wales by the end of 2015.

The scheme is designed to support economic growth which relies on local businesses remaining competitive, while also seeking to drive investment to the area.

The culture secretary Maria Miller said: “it’s brilliant news that more than 100,000 Welsh homes and businesses are already gaining real social and commercial advantages as a result of the nationwide rollout."
