Rural broadband providers drop out of BDUK competition leaving BT only game in village. I hear that Fujitsu has withdrawn from the race for the BDUK funding.

What’s more UFB sits between Superfast and Hyperfast. You will remember it was only last Friday I confidently announced the broadband progression as being Superfast (24Meg+ 1), […]
