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 extending its coverage in Cheshire, building fibre infrastructure to Northwich, Comberbach and Hartford.
The network rollout will include the surrounding villages of Pickmere, Wincham, Lostock Gralam, Davenham, Moulton, Great Budworth and Barnton.
Residents will be able to connect from Autumn 2022 and further areas covered in this build will be announced in the coming weeks.
David Hough, Network Operations Director said: “Reliable, fast, and economic broadband has quickly become a necessity for everybody.
“As we have moved into a digitally connected world, broadband is now considered an essential utility service.”
In Cheshire, Freedom Fibre has made services available to Weaverham and will go live soon in August in Stockton Heath.
