BROADBAND is more or less essential for modern businesses, searching the internet and downloading entertainment.

The Superfast North Yorkshire programme will enable the Dringhouses area with fibre broadband during spring of this year.

Most homes and businesses included in the fibre roll-out will typically gain speeds of 25Mbps and above.

Woodthorpe and Hob Moor areas are included in the BT commercial roll out, so will also be enabled for fibre.

To check your postcode see superfastnorthyorkshire.com and use the “Where and when” postcode checker.

Happy surfing!
