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.
Freedom Fibre is investing £15m to connect the neighbouring towns of Ellesmere Port, Hooton, and Bromborough as it extends its north west rollout.
Located along the Wirral Peninsula, nearly 48,000 homes and 2,500 businesses will be able to access fibre through Freedom Fibre’s partnership TalkTalk.
This comes at the same time as Cheshire West and Chester Council’s successful bid for the UK Government’s “Levelling up” funding and will also support the Wirral Council’s Digital Wirral Strategy.
Steven Warner, said: “Full-fibre broadband will vastly improve the lives of people working from home and will give more flexibility for hybrid workers.”
