Thousands of BT, Sky and TalkTalk users can finally access much faster broadband speeds. The boost is all thanks to Openreach - which provides internet connections across the UK - upgrading a number of locations including areas in Manchester, Luton and South Yorkshire.
The vital update replaces those ageing copper lines - which can only offer basic 70Mbps speeds - with much quicker Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology which is fully capable of beaming the web through walls at a staggering 1Gbps.
At the rapid rate, it would take just 30 seconds to download a full HD movie or just 7 minutes to get a blockbuster 50GB PS5 game installed on Sony's console.
