AUGUSTA Park residents will have more choice of broadband services as a new supplier provides services to the estate.

Direct Save Telecom will be supplying broadband services to the area from this week.

Councillor Phil North, who has been campaigning for more broadband providers to the estate, said: “I am pleased to see another company is now providing broadband services to Augusta Park, expanding choice for local people.”

He added: “Currently only See the Light and Beaming provide broadband services to Augusta Park and, speaking to residents, it is clear they want more competition so this is welcome news.

“I’m still disappointed that we don’t have a major player in the market to drive down prices.”
