Telecoms giant BT is to recruit 200 former members of the armed forces to help deliver super-fast fibre broadband.
BT's Openreach division said the ex-servicemen and women will start work this month as part of a drive to offer super-fast broadband to homes and businesses across the UK.
Olivia Garfield, chief executive of Openreach, said: "It's fantastic that we've been able to recruit so many ex-armed services personnel. These people have served their country well and so deserve the chance of full-time employment with a generous reward package.
At list they are not sitting on the state payments I have no comment.
