Superfast Cymru has past its half way mark but independent research indicates the Digital Divide in Wales is growing.

Whilst we wait for the Welsh Audit Office to publish their overdue report into the value for money of the Superfast Cymru project, independent research by Think Broadband cast doubt on the capability of BT to deliver the Welsh Government Superfast Cymru targets.

Think Broadband maps highlight growing gap between urban and rural Wales.

Whilst these maps illustrate there is a job to be done in serving Rural Wales, the voices of those not capable of accessing Superfast Broadband remains muted.
