How the programme has benefitted our residents.
The programme has connected over 100,000 premises in the County with over 80% using the new services.
The below testimonials highlight just some of the benefits the programme has brought to communities across Oxfordshire.
In light of the current lockdown, our internet access has been life-changing. Every one of the 15 households have received a positive benefit with previous broadband speeds of less than 2Mbps.

Before superfast broadband, streaming one device was problematic and we had to take it in turns to watch our favourite programmes; now, we can all perform our software updates simultaneously.

Having fast internet isn’t just about leisure, such as surfing the web and just reading on-line but our day-to-day work, community and welfare – it’s that important.
