Anglesey dad in touch with the world at last
Llangefni dad, David Parry, has been surfing the Internet since 1994 – but very, very slowly. Now he and his family have superfast links to the modern world from their home at Lon Cae Cwta on the outskirts of town, thanks to the FibreSpeed network and a rural link provided by pioneering Welsh broadband company eXwavia.
Fibrespeed has “revolutionised our lives” says Anglesey resident
Anglesey resident Dorian Roberts reckons he’s been living in the Dark Ages when it comes to the Internet. But now the 47-year-old father of one, who lives on a farm in rural Capel Coch, is surfing the Web in a way that has changed his life.
Family on superfast broadband thanks to eXwavia
Mum-of-two Bo Coates is used to a hectic family life looking after her children at home on Anglesey and doing the accounts for husband Trevor’s caravan repair business. But a complete lack of reasonable Internet access was cramping her style – until service provider eXwavia came along.

Fibrespeed Launch Event

FibreSpeed Launch Event

Fibrespeed was officially launched by Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones on November 27 at Technium CAST in Parc Menai near Bangor – one of the strategic locations chosen  to be amongst the first to gain access to the new service starting in Spring 2009.

Fibrespeed’s launch marks the first phase of a long-term Assembly Government programme to make affordable high bandwidth services available throughout Wales. The region will now compare with London and the South East for affordable, high speed and high bandwidth internet communication access thanks to a new 200-mile fibre optic conduit linking towns and business parks with the existing high-speed network in England.
