Superfast broadband coverage in Wales has now reached over 1 million premises, over two-thirds of the total in Wales. 345,000 premises have gained coverage as a result of the Superfast Cymru broadband programme which has funding from the UK government, Welsh Government and European funds.

The contract for Superfast Cymru is not based on delivery of cabinet or exchange upgrades, but instead requires target numbers of premises able to access superfast broadband. A list of exchanges and deployment status by local authority area is available on the Superfast Cymru website: http://www.superfast-cymru.com/where-and-when


Openreach publishes a list of exchanges accepting orders which can be searched at: https://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/
