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.
CityFibre will make a £50m investment into the digital infrastructure of Maidstone, looking to bring fibre within reach of almost every premise in the town.
Construction will begin in Maidstone next January, with neighbourhoods being made ready for service as they are complete.
Area Manager, Anne Krausse, said: “Our new full fibre network in Maidstone will strengthen the town’s digital infrastructure for decades to come, helping boost the local economy.”
Derek Murphy, Kent County Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development, added: “We welcome this investment in Kent’s broadband infrastructure. We look forward to seeing the benefits it will bring for our residents and businesses.”
