A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
Zzoomm is making a £1.6m investment into the digital infrastructure of Askern, South Yorkshire.
The altnet will make fibre available to around 3,000 properties across the town.
Askern joins nearby towns South Elmsall, Hemsworth, Bolton upon Dearne and Thurnscoe on Zzoomm’s network.
CEO Matthew Hare said: ““It’s fantastic to be continuing our expansion across South Yorkshire, ensuring homes and businesses in Askern join nearby towns in receiving future ready broadband.”
Zzoomm’s infrastructure division boasts a 350-strong in-house civils team that runs five regional hubs and two training centres that allow it to recruit from local communities and develop local talent.
