The majority of homes and businesses in Alnwick - 90% - are yet to sign up to new, superfast broadband according to figures from Openreach.
This is significantly lower than the average across Northumberland, where 41% of homes and businesses that are able to upgrade to ultrafast full fibre broadband have done so.
It follows a £1.2m local investment to make speeds of up to one gigabit per second (Gbps) available to the majority of the market town.
