A UK village which raised £37,000 to offer 200 homes the super-fast broadband that BT could not deliver has launched its network.
Rutland Telecom will offer the residents of Lyddington speeds of up to 40Mbps (megabits per second).
Other telecom firms had said it was not economical to provide fast services to the village.

BT said it was "delighted to help Rutland Telecom" although it added that it hoped it would allow other service providers access to its new network.

"Otherwise there is the risk of a local monopoly developing, which is never good for consumers," said BT Group Strategy Director Olivia Garfield.
