Villagers frustrated over slow broadband speeds have burned a giant effigy of a BT Openreach van.

Residents living in Templeton, Devon, said they were struggling with speeds of less than 1 megabyte so took out their anger at a bonfire.

Roger Linden told the BBC that villagers have tried to raise the issue with BT.

The company, however, admitted it was finding the rollout of fibre broadband "more challenging" due to its rural location.

BT said it was working hard to find alternative ways of bringing faster broadband to residents, including with a community fibre partnership and a mobile broadband solution.

However, Mr Linden said: "They managed to get a cable to the nearby hamlet of Nomansland, but just eight kilometres further and there's nothing.

"It's incompetence of the first order... but we all had a great evening watching the bonfire."
