Avonline Broadband has teamed up with satellite provider Avanti Communications Group to bring the new service to the county.

Its launch coincides with a Government-backed subsidy scheme which means that the system is installed free for eligible users struggling to get fast broadband.

“It provides a superfast service in rural areas where people have literally been waiting years for an upgrade.”

Rather than use an underground copper/fibre network, satellite broadband operates by sending and receiving a two-way broadband signal to a satellite about 22,000 miles in space, meaning it can provide equal quality of coverage oll over the UK.
