Over 1,100 Swindon businesses have access to gigabit-capable Internet services from CityFibre offered through its exclusive launch partner Excalibur.
Swindon's 6.5km long CityFibre network will provide businesses with Internet speeds around 100 times faster than a standard UK broadband connection.
Elsa Chen, CEO of CityFibre's wholesale business Entanet, commented: "This future proof infrastructure is exactly what a modern digital city needs, unlocking world class connectivity speeds of up to 1Gbps that will enable local businesses to succeed productively and profitably.
"They also need the guidance and support of a service provider with the experience to help them take advantage of full fibre, and Excalibur is able to deliver that."
Excalibur CEO Peter Boucher added: "Swindon's businesses are crying out for a fast and reliable communications infrastructure on which to build their own competitiveness and success."
