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.

County Broadband is expanding its east of England network into north Norfolk, naming 15 villages set for full fibre infrastructure.
The altnet is already working with 33 villages in the Breckland and south Norfolk areas using tens of millions of pounds of private investment from Aviva Investors.
“It is important to highlight that building full-fibre broadband infrastructure in rural locations at this scale is a complex task,” said James Salmon, Director of Sales and new territories.
“Each project requires significant planning, resources and time. It involves the coordination of highways, landowners, civils works and advanced fibre optic engineering.”
Villages need to give the green light to the proposals before work on the 18 month projects can begin.
The north Norfolk villages earmarked in the rollout are: Antingham, Bacton, Brampton, Burgh and Tuttington, Colby, Felmingham, Gimingham, Knapton, Mundesley, Paston, Skeyton, Southrepps, Swafield, Swanton Abbott, and Trunch.
