Gigaclear moves into rural Northants

Gigaclear’s project to connect three Northamptonshire villages to full fibre will see its first 2,000 properties receive access by the end of January.

In total, more than 3,700 homes in Middleton Cheney, Byfield and Hinton will benefit from the £97m of investment being made in the county by Gigaclear.

East Delivery Director Tony Smith said: “Moving into rural Northamptonshire demonstrates our commitment to extend our network to new communities.

“Whilst many other broadband providers compete to offer their services in dense, urban areas we’re focussing on harder-to-reach communities that are far less likely to have a choice of supplier.”

The altnet will be utilising existing Openreach ducts and poles to minimise disruption.
