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 will extend its network reach across the West Midlands, aiming to connect around 250,000 homes and businesses as part of its fourth rollout region.
Work will begin shortly across the towns of Dudley, Brierley Hill, Kingswinford, Halesowen, Cradley Heath Stourbridge, Selly Oak, Northfield and Rubery.
Brsk started building its fibre network 15 months ago in West Yorkshire. It has established its rollout in the north west across South Manchester, Burnley and Bradford.
“Our increasing build rates and focus on scaling up our operations to support our growing network have given us the confidence to open up a new front in the West Midlands," said Giorgio Iovino, Brsk founder and CEO.
The altnet is letting households know if engineering works will affect their streets by letterbox drop, as well as engaging with the local community and councillors to inform residents about the benefits of fibre.
