People living in Saundersfoot, St Davids, St Clears and other local communities across Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire are next in line for full fibre broadband.

They along with areas such as Letterston and Newport join the nearly 900,000 homes and businesses across Wales that already have access to the UK’s most reliable broadband technology, thanks to Openreach’s work.

Across the UK, the company has published updated plans to build full fibre broadband to a record 517 more locations – covering a further 2.71 million homes and businesses.

Martin Williams, Openreach partnership director for Wales, said: “This is a huge infrastructure success story across Wales. No company is building faster or further in Europe, that we’re aware of.

“We won’t be stopping either. We plan to build even further across the region, to more cities and towns, and our most rural communities.

“And our engineers, of which more than 2,200 live in Wales, are doing this at a rapid pace - despite this being a hugely complex engineering project.

“Our fibre checker has the latest information about our work in your area,” he added.

Further updates will be provided as any additional locations are added in future.
