Residents and businesses on Golden Lane Estate are now able to access and enjoy broadband speeds of up to 80Mbit/s. BT Openreach have deployed an updated infrastructure to enable Golden Lane Estate with superfast broadband. This is part of the Superfast City Programme a City of London Corporation initiative. It aims to engage and incentivise telecommunication providers to invest in providing affordable, superfast fibre broadband services to the Square Mile - and increase the breadth and depth of cellular coverage in the City of London too.
A good broadband connection is a crucial part of modern business and the City of London Corporation is working to help businesses and residents get what they need to thrive in the 21st Century. Major firms in the global Square Mile are clearly able to buy high-level services but small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are important too, and we are particularly keen to work with others to help them, especially as this issue will grow as technology becomes even more important.
