UNDERWATER cables have been laid to the Roseland to get the peninsula connected to Cornwall's superfast fibre optic broadband network.
Superfast Cornwall laid the cables across the River Fal, marking the arrival of faster broadband for an additional 500 homes and businesses.
The investment is part of the £132 million Superfast Cornwall initiative being jointly undertaken by the European Regional Development Fund, BT and Cornwall Council, which aims to make fibre broadband available to 95 per cent of homes and business premises in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by the end of 2014.
