Hyperfast GB is the home for information on the progress of our network build contract under Project Gigabit, the UK government’s programme to rollout lightning-fast, reliable broadband across the UK.
The programme targets homes and businesses that are not included in broadband companies’ commercial plans, reaching parts of the country that would otherwise miss out.
As part of this, we are reaching out to communities across Cumbria, hosting events that give us an opportunity to engage with local residents and answer questions about the rollout. The next event will take place in Hawkshead.
We are hosting two drop-in information sessions for residents:
Friday 18th September 2026
- Midday session: 12:00pm – 2:00pm
- Evening session: 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Both sessions will take place at:
Distington Community Centre, Church Road, Distington, Workington, CA14 5TE
No booking is required – simply call in at a time that suits you and speak to the Hyperfast GB team about the rollout of Full Fibre broadband and whether your home or business could be connected.
