Commsworld has delivered fibre connectivity to Alnwick and the village communities of Longframlington, Longhorsley and Longhoughton through its partnership with Alncom.
The partnership has brought FTTP and Fixed Wireless Access to areas without decent internet connections and provided free connectivity to 20 town and village halls in the county.
Alncom has also secured private investment from Railsite Telecom and funding from the UK’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme to bolster broadband across its service area.
Commsworld Group Sales Director Steve Wood, said: “The enhanced speeds are a result of linking connections to our nationwide ultra-fast Optical Core Network.
“We have delivered five optical connections in total, with one being put in place in just two weeks. As a result, we together with Alncom are fulfilling our pledge to connect remote communities.”
Both Commsworld and Alncom hope to bring better broadband connections to schools, businesses, community organisations and resident groups in not only Northumberland but also to the most remote rural areas across the country.
Alncom MD Stephen Pinchen, added: “This really has been a transformational relationship for both parties and an opportunity to use Alncom’s rural knowledge to deliver fibre broadband in record time to the most remote villages and communities.”
