Broadband boost rolls into town

Hamilton set for faster speeds

- ROBERT MITCHELL

Openreach has started work to build a new broadband network for Hamilton-which they say will give residents and businesses access to some of the fastest, most reliable broadband anywhere in Europe.

The once-in-a-generation, full fibre broadband upgrade will let thousands of local people connect multiple devices at gigabit-capable speeds and help businesses trade online and compete for decades to come.

Engineers have started work in Hamilton and the build is expected to reach the majority of local homes and businesses.
