Broadband could be cheaper for some Bradley Stoke residents after Orange installed their own kit in the Almondsbury exchange.
Many town residents are connected to Almondsbury and Orange’s own HQ, based in Bradley Stoke, is in the area served by it.
By installing their own equipment the mobile phone firm can offer high speed internet through a process called local loop unbundling.
It means broadband prices for those choosing to use Orange for internet services will drop to £12-a-month after the company recently slashed their prices.
Orange is the first firm to offer unbundled broadband from the Almondsbury exchange.
BT is set to offer faster services from May from Almondsbury through its 21st Century Wholesale Broadband Connect offering.

Great. The first LLU provider at Almondsbury just has to be the worst. Typical.

Yep - have to say I agree with Andy’s comment! I’m on the Filton Exchange and when Orange put their LLU kit into Filton and “unbundled” my line (without telling me) - they completely stuffed up my broadband access via BT!! So be warned!!!
