INTERNET users in Bromyard will be able to take advantage of faster broadband speeds in future, according to BT.
The roll-out of the company's next generation broadband service means browsers can access dowload speeds of up to 20 megabits per second (mbps).
BT say the advance means the number of homes and businesses able to access the service in Herefordshire has increased to over 2,800.
John Dovey, BT’s West Midlands regional director, said: “This is an important step forward for Herefordshire.
"In these challenging economic times, faster broadband can help businesses become more competitive, find new customers and work more flexibly as well as greatly improving the online services available to families, homeworkers and other internet users."
