A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
Hyperoptic will invest £200m in 2022 with plans to lay more than 1,500km of fibre to connect an additional 400,000 homes and businesses.
The altnet’s full fibre network currently passes over 825,000 homes and businesses and serves over 230,000 customers.,
As it scales, Hyperoptic is shifting its focus from connecting large blocks of flats to service smaller sites, as well as new build housing developments.
Planning has been completed to commence rollout in Fulham and Pimlico, Willesden Green, Holloway, Hackney and Balham and Clapham. Future plans are progressing in locations including Peckham, Surrey Quays, Catford, Walthamstow and Islington.
Aurélie Canales, Chief Transformation and Major Products Officer, Hyperoptic: “Over the last couple of years we have scaled the processes needed to expand our full fibre network.”
