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 is connecting 14,000 Brentwood residents with fibre broadband and has awarded local homeowner Tony Morgan with a free 10-year contract worth £6,000.
“Like many other people, our broadband usage has spiked since Covid-19 and so when anyone’s working from home, it’s impossible to do anything without a good connection,” said Morgan.
“We’re providing local communities with a fit-for-the-future infrastructure that delivers the guaranteed speeds people need now and for years to come,” added Rob Andrews, BeFibre CMO.
Brentwood was announced on BeFibre’s build plan in March 2022.
“It’s great to see BeFibre investing significantly in the borough to drive forward digital connectivity for our residents, especially at a time when work from home is ever-increasing,” added Brentwood Borough Council leader, Councillor Chris Hossack.
