GoFibre has leveraged Project Gigabit funding to make full fibre available to 4,000 rural premises in Teesdale.
This includes the village of Mickleton and its community hall which has run a Cinema Club for the past 30 years. The altnet has also connected Durham Dales Holiday Cottages, Lightning Signs Printing and Mickleton Service Station.
Neil Conaghan, Chief Executive Officer, GoFibre, said: “This technology will have a lasting, positive impact on the lives of the residents, from enhancing local business operations and boosting economic growth to improving social inclusion and community engagement.
