Digital Region concept becomes reality!
Mr Painter of Grimethorpe, Barnsley is the first user to connect to the long awaited Digital Region network.
Digital Region Broadband services are available now throughout South Yorkshire, the service uses the enhanced capacity of fibre optics
to deliver much faster more reliable services.
Mr Painter comments, "Its impressively fast, at least 10 times faster than our previous connection. I'm reliant on the internet for work so this is making a big difference."

George Taylor CEO of DRBSY comments, "Whilst we promote our network with an 'up to 40Mbps' service, we are actually delivering speeds very close to this.
Ian is receiving 38Mbps down and 8Mbps up! The worst case scenario is 25mbps down. This is pretty good considering there are large areas of the county that
can only receive speeds of 500kbps!"
Apparently DRBSY are trying to beat the current record for the fastest residential broadband service.
Mr Painter comments "I'm happy with the super connection I have, but I'm keen to be an even faster guinea pig!"
