Wi-Fi for Wiltshire libraries

The "Wiltshire Online" Programme aims to bring superfast broadband to homes and businesses across the county. At present, not all parts of Wiltshire have access to broadband and those that do may experience slow speeds and poor service. This means that residents and businesses in the county struggle to make full use of the internet and online services. Poor broadband services are seen as a major obstacle to sustained economic growth and investment in the county.
