Over 1,000 schools connected to high-speed broadband
Over 1,200 schools across the UK are among those connected to ‘gigabit’ speed broadband, as part of a UK Government scheme to level up public services.
The move to connect public buildings is part of the Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) programme which was launched five years ago to subsidise the cost of full fibre broadband connections in publicly-owned buildings.
It has delivered 2,700 kilometres of lightning-fast full fibre which includes upgrades to 1,262 schools and colleges. Other public buildings to benefit from the programme include libraries, hospitals, and council owned offices, amongst others.
Full fibre connections provide speeds in excess of 1,000 megabits per second which will give vital public services the speed and reliability needed to operate at their full potential for decades to come.
