Digital Wiltshire

by Ruth Kinderman

Wiltshire Council has launched Digital Wiltshire, a new online portal designed to keep residents and businesses informed about the progress of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure being upgraded across the county.

This new portal supports delivery of the government’s Project Gigabit programme, which aims to deliver full fibre connectivity upgrades to rural and hard-to-reach areas by 2032.

Through Digital Wiltshire, users can access:

– interactive mapping: View Building Digital UK open market review (OMR) information on fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) upgrades as we receive it, including ‘Ready for Service’ (RFS) status
– connectivity classifications: Understand coverage categories (White, Grey, Black, Orange) and what they mean at premises and location level
– guidance and support: Access FAQs, check availability, and find links to national resources such as Building Digital UK, Ofcom, and Think Broadband
– community engagement: Participate in surveys for example to report mobile ‘not spots’ and share experiences to help gather evidence to improve coverage.
