Broadband customers in Bradley Stoke who are connected to the Almondsbury interchange have started to see speed increases from a new BT system.
The telecoms giant activated the Wholesale Broadband Connect service on Saturday which could see customers near to the exchange seeing boosts of up to 24Mbps.
Customers further away are likely to see more modest increases as distance has an impact on connection speeds.
But one broadband user, in south west Bradley Stoke, told us their connection speed had been boosted from 2Mbps to 3Mbps - a boost of a third.
Only Entanet resellers are offering services of up to 24Mbps but all customers should notice smaller increases from the exchange upgrade.
If you are connected to the Almondsbury interchange we would love to know if your connection has sped up - use the comments below.

The downstream connection rate on my router has jumped from around 5400 to 7600! And that’s before my ISP (PlusNet) have done anything with the WBC product. I’m in BS north, BTW.

Mine has gone from 2400 to 3800 on a good day (when the kids aren’t online). I’m near Meadowbrook School.

OK, I’ve completed a speed test at thinkbroadband.com and it comes in a 5.6Mps, not too shabby. I’m in Dewfalls drive.
here is the test
