Gigaclear has started to connect 9,500 more Oxfordshire homes and businesses under Project Gigabit, in the second contract with total subsidy of £25.4m for the altnet provider to expand its network, covering areas across the north and south of the county.

Gigabit Networks is expanding its services to encompass CityFibre’s national footprint, giving it access to more than two million customers in the UK.
“We recognise the critical importance of a dependable internet connection in today's digital landscape,” said Dan Ilett, co-founder of Gigabit Networks.
“Our expansion enables us to further address the huge challenges presented by the digital divide."
