Act Now Cornwall, sponsored by Objective One funding, has been geared towards providing all households and businesses in Cornwall and Scilly with broadband.

St Mary’s and Tresco have recently been connected to the newly upgraded exchanges.

John Berry, managing director of Cornwall Enterprise, the lead partner in Act Now told BBC News Online: “For such a remote community, technological advancements like broadband are invaluable in order to allow businesses on the islands to compete on a level playing field with the rest of the country.”
