Broadband in Hartlepool, Durham

Situated in Durham, Hartlepool is a town that — like so many communities across , England — has seen growing demand for faster, more reliable broadband. The original town was founded in the 7th century, around the monastery of Hartlepool Abbey on a headland. As the village grew into a town in the Middle Ages, its harbour served as the County Palatine of Durham's official port. The new town of West Hartlepool was created in 1835 after a new port was built and railway links from the South Durham coal fields and from Stockton-on-Tees were created. The two towns were known collectively as "The Hartlepools" from Victorian times. 20th-century development saw them form a contiguous urban area. From 1967 they were put under the same local authority. The term Hartlepool is nowadays used to refer to the whole urban area - the term West Hartlepool being much less commonly used than in the past. The town is within the council area of Hartlepool. Pop Telecom works with multiple network providers to ensure Hartlepool residents get the best available connection at their postcode.
