Craig Williams MP has visited Openreach engineers to see the work they’re doing to build a new Ultrafast Full Fibre broadband network across his Montgomeryshire constituency.

People living there will soon be able benefit from Ultrafast full fibre, which enables them to stay connected, benefit from faster speeds and greater reliability, and use multiple devices at once without any slowdowns or buffering.
This was made possible as a result of the community coming together to pledge their free UK Government Gigabit Vouchers as part of Openreach’s Fibre Community Partnership (FCP).
Openreach has identified homes and businesses in Llanbrynmair as being within scope for Full Fibre. In total, 5 communities have been identified across Montgomeryshire that could benefit if enough residents pledge enough vouchers.
They are Berriew, Llanrhaeadr, Tregynon, Llanbrynmair and Kerry.
Residents can check if they qualify and pledge their voucher on the Connect My Community website.
Both Openreach and Craig Williams MP are urging people living in these villages to get behind a bid to bring ultrafast, ultra-reliable Full Fibre broadband to their communities and join the 21,000 Montgomeryshire homes and businesses that can already access ultrafast broadband thanks to Openreach.
As the only network builder in the area Openreach has already invested more than £6.3 billion1 in upgrading the digital infrastructure across Montgomeryshire which has enabled nearly 65% of the constituency to access Full Fibre broadband.
Craig Williams MP, said: “I’m pleased to see the progress being made by Openreach to deliver full fibre across my constituency and here in Llanbrynmair. It’s vital that local people take advantage of this new technology as it becomes available.
“This is a significant local investment and great news for people living and working across the whole of Montgomeryshire – in both our urban and rural communities.
“I look forward to even more progress being made so that all of my constituents can have the best access to digital services for employment, education and entertainment, as soon as possible.”
The visit was hosted by Martin Williams, Openreach’s Partnership Director for Wales, who said: “We welcomed the opportunity to give Craig a tour of part of our ultrafast network in Montgomeryshire and explain more about the build. Our engineers are working hard to connect the constituency and it was great to share their story with the local MP.
“We were also able to discuss future plans for other parts of his constituency, including Grantham, where our fibre build teams are headed soon.”

Aeth i bentref Llanbrynmair i weld sut bydd y gymuned yn elwa o gael gwasanaeth band eang yn cymharu â’r mwyaf cyflym a dibynadwy yn y Deyrnas Unedig.
Cyn bo hir bydd y trigolion yn gallu cael band eang ffeibr cyflawn tra-chyflym, fydd yn darparu cysylltedd cyflym a dibynadwy, ac yn hwyluso defnyddio sawl dyfais ar yr un pryd heb wynebu unrhyw oedi yn y cysylltiad.
