St Budeaux is latest Plymouth area to get BT's superfast broadband
ABOUT 10,000 homes and businesses in St Budeaux are to be linked to superfast broadband under the latest instalment of BT's £2.5billion roll-out programme.
The high-speed fibre broadband has already been connected to Plymouth city centre, Crownhill, Devonport, Plympton and Ivybridge.
Plymstock is due to be upgraded later this year.
By spring 2014 nearly 100,000 homes and businesses in and around Plymouth will be plugged in, BT said.

“But will we ever see the likes of Arkholme - a tiny village out in the sticks in in Lancashire where people installed fibre broadband themselves after BT said it would be too expensive - and now enjoy a speed of around 950Mbps download and 550Mbps upload???
Nah, we will be lucky to see 10Mbps once it's all shared out - and at a heavy price too”
