Virgin Media O2 has successfully connected 1,000 mobile masts to its proprietary 10Gbps fibre backhaul network, enabling faster data speeds, lower latency and a more reliable mobile network experience for customers.
brsk has launched a network expansion that will connect a number of West Yorkshire rural towns and villages to full fibre broadband.
Approximately 10,000 premises will benefit from brsk’s investment in the towns and villages of Denholme, Haworth, Crossroads, Wilsden, and Cullingworth, where homes and businesses will have access to speeds up to 2Gbps on brsk’s network.
Darryl Nieuwenhuizen, Regional Head, brsk said: “We have spent the last 3 years rolling out our full fibre network to a large proportion of the Bradford District.
“We already have over 30 percent take up in our older cohorts. This success has given us the confidence to extend our network to more rural communities across West Yorkshire and ensure they are not left behind.”
Residents and businesses in Cullingworth are the first to enjoy better broadband as work has just completed, while the project is currently underway to connect further communities, with completion by December this year.
