THOUSANDS of people in Worcester could be missing out on better broadband services, Openreach has warned.
More than 45,000 homes and businesses in the city can already upgrade to Full Fibre, but so far just half have made the switch.
Openreach has invested £13million in the new Full Fibre network for Worcester, reaching more than 80 per cent of properties.
People living in Worcester can see if they can upgrade to full fibre by visiting Openreach’s full fibre checker.
Martin Williams, Openreach partnership director for the South West, said: “Fast and reliable full fibre broadband gives households and businesses a significant boost.
“As the UK’s leading provider of fibre infrastructure, Openreach is at the forefront of the digital transformation, connecting communities all over the UK and future-proofing the network for decades to come.
“Our extensive network – the largest in the UK – means residents can shop around and find the best deals that suit their needs. But it’s important to remember that upgrades don’t happen automatically. People need to order it to take advantage of the technology.
“Openreach is committed to building the best full fibre network, and doing it sustainably is crucial for our business, the communities we serve, and the environment we all share. As part of our ‘Let’s Reach Zero’ strategy, we aim to lower our carbon emissions, use less and waste less material, and protect nature wherever we operate.”
