Hi, we have just been informed by our local (rural) council that over the next few weeks there will be roadworks while a fibre connection is run from the main highway to our local exchange.

A few people have asked me what this means for the average consumer - if anything. Unsurprisingly council seem to have no knowledge or answers. I'm assuming this will enable local schools to be connected under the government scheme but other than that probably no benefit for average domestic users?

Would be grateful for any insights!
