Future broadband in Kirklees | Kirklees Council

We are committed to making sure that Kirklees has the highest standards of connection and infrastructure, providing digital connections across the district that are reliable, competitive, long-lasting and widely available.

Improved connections help attract investment into the district, create a more attractive business offering and in turn create more job opportunities. They also mean homes have the best broadband speeds for home working, streaming, connecting multiple devices and staying connected.

These connections will make our district an even more desirable location to live, work and enjoy.

Both public and private sector investment have been used to help connect businesses and residents to fast and reliable internet. The new digital landscape will make sure our residents are well connected within their homes and provide greater opportunities for local businesses to thrive and grow.

Full-fibre broadband uses fibre optic cables to connect the telephone exchange directly to each household. It is currently the fastest and most reliable broadband on the market. The fast upload and download speeds mean multiple devices can connect, stream and be utilised without buffering or delay. This is extremely beneficial in a world where technology is ever changing and advancing and working from home is essential following the global pandemic of Covid-19
