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.
FullFibre has completed its network rollout in Leek, with fibre services now available to homes and businesses in the Staffordshire town.
The network was built through a combination of re-using existing Openreach ducts/poles and installing new physical infrastructure.
FullFibre’s Area General Manager of the Leek build, Chris Williams, said: “Coming to Leek that has historically been underserved and seeing residents desperate for a clean, undisruptive build, we knew we could step up to the challenge.”
FullFibre continues its mission to serve 500,000 premises by its first milestone year of 2025 focusing on connecting underserved towns and operating on a strictly wholesale model.
