The upcoming 5G mobile data standard should deliver blisteringly fast speeds (expected to be 100Meg - on your mobile!). A bid has been submitted to have it tested here on the Isle of Wight, way ahead of the rest of the UK's 2020 start.
The plans for Gigabit Island were announced at the first Digital Solent on 8th November 2017.
An investment of £35m from Infracapital will result in 50,000 properties on the Isle of Wight securing a 1Gb Internet connection by 2021.
The rollout is being managed by WightFibre Ltd.
