Freedom Fibre is no longer able to complete a contract to roll out gigabit-capable broadband to 12,000 premises in north Shropshire in full, due to changes in the external market, in a new report from the government’s Building Digital UK (BDUK) Agency.

Commsworld has won a 10-year contract worth £2.6m with Dundee City Council to transform internet connectivity to 42 schools.
The contract will see Commsworld plan, design, migrate and manage a completely new fibre network service underpinned by a new robust security solution.
It will invest in 40km of new fibre infrastructure across Dundee, with schools gaining access to boost their digital learning capabilities, enabling greater use of cloud-based services.
Craig Scott, Public Sector Business Development Director at Commsworld, said: “Commsworld has similarly delivered enhanced and easily upgradable connectivity to schools in Glasgow, that has totally transformed digital learning.”
