Wildanet is celebrating a double-milestone in its £77m rollout of full fibre broadband in Cornwall as part of Project Gigabit, and has now connected a total of 10,000 premises in the first two phases across the south west and central parts of the region.
Fern Trading-backed Giganet has announced plans to add a further 22 areas to its existing partnership with CityFibre, with the altnet aiming to connect 1.8 million homes in the south of England.
The expansion will see Giganet take its total areas covered to 27, adding Bath,"Bournemouth, Bracknell, Brighton & Hove, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Chatham & Gillingham, Cheltenham & Charlton Kings, Chichester & Arun, Eastbourne, Gloucester, Ipswich, Lowestoft, Maidenhead, Norwich, Peterborough, Poole & Christchurch, Slough, Southend, Weston-Super-Mare, Worcester and Worthing to its gigabit broadband rollout.
Jarlath Finnegan, Giganet CEO, said: "Our latest expansion with CityFibre will allow us to connect more homes than ever across the UK, with access to the best full fibre broadband."
Giganet recently received £250m in funding from Fern Trading to commence work on its own full fibre broadband network.
