Wessex Internet has connected its first customer in South Wiltshire as part of an £18.8 million contract awarded by Project Gigabit, bringing faster broadband to around 14,500 residents across the region.
Over 100,000 premises across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole have been designated read for service by CityFibre.
These premises will be able to access services from Vodafone, TalkTalk, IDNet, Giganet and Zen. CityFibre expects other providers to join the network soon.
Adrian Smith, CityFibre’s Partnership Manager for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, said: “We would like to thank residents for their patience as we have rolled out this essential digital infrastructure.
“From here, we hope to see more people in the area unlock seamless homeworking, streaming and learning.”
