BT has brought forward the date it has set to make Hay-on-Wye 'broadband-live'.
The date will now be May 12, a decision warmly welcomed by Hay-on-Wye's Powys County Councillor James Gibson-Watt.
"I'm delighted that they have now been able to arrange for the date to be brought forward by three weeks. This is a major boost and will be very helpful in the run up to and during the Hay Festival," Coun Gibson-Watt said.
"Now the Hay area, which includes Clyro, Llanigon and Cusop, will have broadband for the coming summer tourist season.
"There is a job to do in promoting the potentially huge benefits of broadband to local businesses and residents, which is where I and my colleagues will be devoting our attentions in the coming months."
