“YLess4U has now delivered 36 wireless broadband towers to improve internet connectivity, with 12 towers located in Collector, Gundaroo, Murrumbateman, Tarago and Wallaroo, creating six local jobs,” Mrs Tuckerman said.
“This program will provide faster and more reliable internet to 10 communities whichpreviously relied on satellite internet services.”Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said YLess4U’s network of 21new and 15 enhanced fixed wireless broadband towers was delivered as part of the NSW government’s $50 million Connecting Country Communities Fund.
