The Griffin Inn has become Broadway Broadband’s first connection in Dale Village as the altnet pledges to supply all 224 local properties with full fibre.
The pub was connected on 15th July, Pembrokeshire Council members Patrick Hannon and Michael Odlin as well as County Councillor Paul Miller, and members of the Broadway Broadband team present to celebrate.
Simon Vickers, co-owner of The Griffin Inn, said: “Our pub relies on digital connectivity for almost all aspects of its daily running.
“On top of that, Dale Village is a popular tourist destination for families and water sport enthusiasts, so we hope our broadband upgrade will draw in more tourists looking for a ‘staycation’ holiday.”
Reece Simmons, Wales Regional Manager, Broadway Partners, added: “It has been great to witness first-hand the positive impact fibre can have on local communities who previously have been disadvantaged by frustratingly slow internet speeds.”
Following a £145m investment from Downing LLP in 2021, Broadway aims to connect 250,000 rural homes and businesses by 2025.
