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.
Brsk has rollout out fibre to 30,000 homes in the UK in its first 10 months, following its first customer connection in Portwood, Stockport.
The altnet is continuing to pass premises in large areas of Stockport and Greater Manchester including Edgeley, Portwood, Stockport West, Stockport North, Didsbury, Chorlton, Cheadle, Davyhulme, Fallowfield, Flixton, Gatley, Hazel Grove, Heald Green, Hulme, Moss Side, Poynton, Rusholme, Sale, Timperley and Urmston.
John Steward, Digital Infrastructure Lead at Greater Manchester Combined Authority said: “Throughout the pandemic our businesses and citizens relied on communications services more than ever, so it’s great to see communities in South Manchester being supported with next generation connectivity.
“Along with our work to fix the digital divide, we are ensuring Greater Manchester becomes a world leading digital-city region that puts residents at the heart of our plans.”
