Filey gets Internet boost

As part of a massive broadband project it has been announced that the town of Filey is set to receive super fast broadband services in spring of next year, as confirmed by communications giant BT.

According to recent reports the town of Filey is going to be receiving super fast broadband services next year as part of a huge multi billion pound scheme. It has been confirmed by officials from the communications giant BT that the town should be set to get its superfast broadband coverage in spring of next year, with work continuing at present to ensure that residents and businesses in the area can get connected.

As a result of the project Filey is set to become one of just four towns in Yorkshire that will benefit from the fibre based broadband project. This will come as great news for both residents and businesses in the area, who will be able to benefit from high speed internet access, which will provide a huge number of benefits.

BT confirmed that the process was still on course, stating: “It is still in the planning stage but we are on course. It may appear to be quiet at the moment but that’s not the case from the company’s point of view. We always announce such projects a year in advance simply because of the sheer amount of work involved in the process. This is a major investment by BT and all of the background work has been done so progress is being made. We have a large team working on the project and it is very much still on schedule to come to Filey by Spring 2012.”

Filey MP Anne McIntosh said: “I am delighted that nearly 4,000 premises served by the Filey exchange should be able to access super-fast broadband speeds. Having access to fast broadband is vital to rural areas, enabling businesses to be competitive and allowing people to enjoy the benefits open to others in better connected regions.”
