Hayog Farm in Ambleston is an example of the rural premises being connected by Broadway Partners as part of the Digital Pembrokeshire project, which uses government vouchers to enable gigabit-capable fibre connections.
Ambleston was one of Pembrokeshire’s Pilot Project Areas, and the community chose internet suppliers Broadway Partners to build the new fibre network.
Farm owner Anne James said: “It has been a bit of a boost for the business. We have to do things online and we can’t be without broadband these days. It’s a basic.”
Pembrokeshire County Council Cabinet Member for Economy, Cllr Paul Miller, said: “We're determined to ensure all parts of Pembrokeshire have access to full fibre broadband and when we say everyone, we mean everyone.
“Down a farm track or not, our ambition is to connect every property in Pembrokeshire to a high speed fibre network.”
Michael Armitage, CEO of Broadway Partners added: “This scheme is a welcome step in bridging the connectivity gap between rural and urban areas, and we look forward to advancing the communities of Herbrandston, Wiston and Slebach, amongst others, in their journey to reaping benefits of ultrafast broadband.”
