The village that built its own broadband

Available for over a year

Lazonby’s 'slow' internet is about to be transformed, thanks to ten volunteers who rallied the village to join B4RN, a not‑for‑profit bringing gigabit fibre to rural communities. Ed Hanson meets the team making it happen, and Stan Jenkins explains how they pulled it off.
