Exchange upgrade to bring faster broadband to Dalgety Bay

14 January
  • The exchange upgrade will increase broadband speeds in Dalgety Bay to up to 40Mb
Dalgety Bay internet users can look forward to having accesss to faster services from this summer, after BT announced that the town's exchange is to be upgraded.

The exchange is one of 62 across the UK that BT plans to upgrade to receive faster, fibreoptic broadband by summer 2010.

The upgrade in Dalgety Bay will see the exchange being kitted up with VDSL+ (Very High Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line), which will provide fibre-from-the-exchange (FTTC) to the provider's road-side cabinets.

The result of these new fibre connections will be a maximum speed using this new fibre is 40Mb - more than doubling the current download speeds of between 10Mb and 20Mb.

Good news for Dalgety Bay? Are you looking forward to faster connection speeds? What do you think? Have your say on s1dalgetybay

Excellent news. All we have to do is to watch out for diggers laying the fibre to our roadside cabinets -at the bottom of the hill in St Davids Harbour! Or is the pipe holding the copper wide enough to take the fibre? Is there a schedule we can view?
