Over 98% of Gloucestershire homes and businesses can now access a superfast broadband connection, through one of the first types of UK projects of its kind that started in 2012 to increase superfast coverage in the county.

Gigabit IQ is to form a strategic partnership with F&W Networks expanding its broadband services to more areas, providing F&W’s infrastructure through an additional partner.
This new partnership with F&W will significantly expand Gigabit IQ's reach while helping to bridge the digital divide by delivering both connectivity and safety to underserved communities.
By leveraging F&W’s infrastructure, Gigabit IQ will continue to deliver affordable and safe broadband solutions further afield.
Mashood Ahmad, Managing Director of Gigabit IQ said: “Our partnership with F&W is a major step forward in ensuring that families and communities can access high-speed internet that doesn’t compromise on safety.”
With F&W’s support, Gigabit IQ will make solutions such as advanced parental controls and malware protection available to more homes.
José Luis San Martín, F&W Networks’ Chief Executive Officer said: “As Gigabit IQ continues to strengthen its foothold in these areas and expand into neighbouring communities, we will help to support their journey and contribute to their growth.”
