Creation of the Ultra-Fast Broadband Network in Michaelston-y-Fedw is now largely complete thanks to the huge efforts made by the volunteer workers. The network provides connections with speeds up to 1,000Mbps. Previously only standard internet connections using the old telephone wires were available for most in the village, with typical internet speeds of around 2 to 6 Mbps. Over 200 properties in the village and surrounding area have joined the network.
