Brsk has begun work in Salford to enable 25,000 homes and businesses in the city to access full fibre broadband.
Fibrus has surpassed the 100,000 premises mark in its national infrastructure rollout.
As part of its rollout Fibrus has created 250 jobs directly, contributing almost £11m in salaries to the local NI economy. This figure is almost doubled when sub-contractors and the extended supply chain are included.
The altnet aims to hit 250,000 premises in total by the end of this year following recent funding of £32m funding from the NI Executive to bring 8,500 of the region's hardest to reach premises into the scope of the ongoing Project Stratum.
Conor Harrison, Fibrus COO said: “What we are delivering is the most important infrastructure project of a generation.
“With the support of our partners at Infracapital, we are investing in excess of £150m on top of our recent landmark public contracts to ensure communities stay connected across the region and local businesses are able to unlock their economic potential.”
