The CDS programme

Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) is a local government-led partnership which helps to deliver next generation broadband infrastructure to areas where the market has failed to invest.

Over 326,000 homes and businesses already have access to superfast broadband as a direct result of investment by CDS – that’s more than any other broadband programme in England.

It is also one of the most cost-effective broadband programmes in England with costs per premise in the lowest quartile nationally, according to BDUK figures.
