Thousands of people across Merseyside<\/a> are being warned that they are “missing out” on broadband services. Openreach has been building a new Full Fibre broadband network for Merseyside, meaning residents can access faster, more reliable broadband.<\/p>\n More than 600,000 homes and businesses<\/a> in the region can now upgrade to Full Fibre. Thousands of people (40%) are yet to upgrade to the service and are missing out on the enhanced features.<\/p>\n Upgrades are not automatic, so people have to check with their service provider to see if they can switch. Openreach has invested around \u00a3177m in the new Full Fibre network for Merseyside, reaching 81 per cent of properties.<\/p>\n Robert Thorburn, Openreach Partnership Director for the North, said: \u201cFast and reliable full fibre broadband gives households and businesses a significant boost.<\/p>\n “As the UK\u2019s leading provider of fibre infrastructure, Openreach is at the forefront of the digital transformation<\/a>, connecting communities all over the UK and future-proofing the network for decades to come.<\/p>\n “Our extensive network – the largest in the UK \u2013 means residents can shop around and find the best deals that suit their needs. But it\u2019s important to remember that upgrades don\u2019t happen automatically. People need to order it to take advantage of the technology.”<\/p>\n Openreach\u2019s full fibre network now reaches more than 18m properties, and the company plans to extend this to 25 million homes and businesses by the end of 2026, with a belief it can reach as many as 30 million by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n
