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 is set to invest £10m in a new town-wide network that will bring fibre-enabled services within reach of almost every home and business in Newark.
Construction will begin this November. As work is completed in each neighbourhood, CityFibre will designate the homes ready for service, from Vodafone, TalkTalk, IDNet, Giganet and Zen.
“We have had success so far in deploying our network in other areas of Nottinghamshire in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council, and we cannot wait for local residents and businesses to experience first-hand what is possible with strong digital connectivity,” said Area Manager, Dominika Walker.
“Fibre infrastructure is a crucial part of stimulating growth in constituencies like mine,” added Robert Hon Robert Jenrick, MP for Newark. “It will tap into the potential of local businesses and lift the local economy."
