Super fast fibre broadband has gone live in Forres with thousands of homes and businesses benefiting from a £2.5 billion roll-out.
More than 2,320 homes and businesses in the Moray town now have access to high speed technology – and this figure will increase to around 5,450 as Openreach engineers complete the local upgrade in the weeks ahead.
The BT investment was welcomed by councillor John Cowe, chairman of Moray Council’s economic development and infrastructure committee, who said: “Super-fast fibre broadband in Forres offers huge benefits to local residents and businesses and will help our local economy to flourish.
“Better, faster communications help businesses to grow and stimulate job creation.
“The arrival of fibre broadband means local people and firms can do more online at faster speeds and on multiple devices.
“This is great news for many people in Forres and I look forward to fibre broadband being rolled out across the rest of Moray.”
