98 exchanges added to fibre rollout

We've just announced that we’re going to make fibre broadband available to a further 98 exchange areas – covering more than 800,000 additional homes and businesses.

The new list covers exchanges all over the country – from Sandown on the Isle of Wight to Oban on the west coast of Scotland. If all goes to plan these exchanges should be ready for action by late 2013. Check out our where and when map to see if your exchange is one of the lucky ones.

Over 10 million homes already have access to fibre broadband and today's news brings us another step closer to our goal of making it available to two-thirds of the UK by the end of 2014. And hopefully we won't stop there. We're working with BDUK and local government and communities to try and give as many people as possible access to the benefits of fibre broadband.

Our fibre upload speeds are the fastest in the UK, meaning large video and data files can be sent almost instantly and hi-res photos posted online in seconds. It's a real game-changer and is set to revolutionise the way we use the internet.
