Two villages in Staffordshire have become the latest communities to receive super-fast broadband from BT, with thousands of homes expected to make use of the technology over the coming weeks.

According to the telecoms provider, over 12,000 families and businesses in Fazeley - near Lichfield and Tamworth - will gain quicker broadband once upgrades are completed, with a further 10,000 in and around the Heath Hayes area also poised to benefit.

"This is another exciting development in the region's fast-moving broadband story," said BT's West Midlands director John Dovey. "Many more customers in other parts of the county can look forward to faster speeds."

Mr Dovey claimed that the changes would help to stimulate business growth and create new jobs in the area, with further expansion planned for towns and villages across the West Midlands in the next few months.

Earlier this week, the company announced that work to boost broadband speeds in Knowle, near Solihull, was on the verge of completion.
