The letter to EDDC planners from BT Openreach’s contractors, the Harlequin Group, states: “As part of Openreach’s ongoing proposal to expand broadband accessibility this is a notification of our intention to install fixed-line broadband electronic communications apparatus pursuant to the Electronic Communications Code Regulations (2003)…”
Timescale of the installation and any resulting improvement in broadband speed is as yet unclear, but I have enquired and hope to confirm this soon.
