The current analysis of Broadband availability in Northamptonshire shows that, in line with the rest of the UK, approximately 10% of Northamptonshire (county coverage) will remain without access to Broadband services given that trigger thresholds have now been set for the final tranche of exchanges to be enabled by BT. This percentage rises to approximately 20% (without coverage) for our rural areas (taken separately). For Northamptonshire, this equates to 24 communities spread across the county that will remain without access to Broadband services.
