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.
BeFibre has connected the first premises to its network in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, which addresses 12,000 homes in the town.
The altnet first announced it would be entering the town in April 2022.
Louise Elliott, Chief Customer and Operations Officer for BeFibre, said: “We need greater connectivity than ever before as being online is now a necessary part of everyday life.
“We are committed to working closely with local authorities and stakeholders in every new we enter and will transform how Skelmerdale’s community lives, works and plays.”
