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.
The first wave of premises in Oswestry are now ready for service on FullFibre’s £6.6m town-wide network.
The altnet plans to make 100% of the town live by mid 2023.
CSO of FullFibre, James Warner, comments: “The internet is an integral part of daily life, and it has a real impact on how communities operate and the way we live our lives.
North Shropshire MP, Helen Morgan, added: “The pandemic demonstrated just how reliant we all are on good connectivity and as we move forward that dependence will only increase.
“It is encouraging to know how many other communities in the constituency are also in line to benefit from the same services in the future.”
Full Fibre’s build cadence is currently in excess of 10,000 properties per month, putting the altnet on track to hit half a million premises by 2025.
