More than £5 million is set to be invested in upgrading areas of Amersham, Chesham and Little Chalfont with Full Fibre broadband.

When work is finished, residents will be able to contact their broadband provider and upgrade to Full Fibre broadband, with the new network being built to the majority of premises - around 17,000.

OpenReach is spending £5,100,000 on work in the three areas.

Full fibre broadband is up to ten times faster than the average home broadband connection and around five times more reliable than the traditional copper-based network.

Kieran Wines, Openreach’s Regional Director for the South East said: “In 2021 our engineers built around 770 metres of new broadband cables every minute – making ultrafast broadband available to another home or business every 13 seconds.

"We’ve already reached six million homes and businesses across the UK with ultrafast Full Fibre technology including more than 450,000 across the South East, but we know there’s more to do and we’re committed to doing it.”
