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.
Lightning Fibre has made its network builds across Brighton and Hove, Worthing and Lancing ready for service and has connected its first customer in the region.
The altnet operates its own network in Eastbourne, Hastings, Hailsham, Heathfield, Tenterden, Broad Oak, Polegate and St Leonards and has recently partnered with CityFibre to operate as an ISP across its network in some areas on the south coast.
Rob Reaks, CCO, said: "Lightning Fibre has tens of thousands of customers in East Sussex and Kent, and we're now expanding westward, bringing our network to even more towns and cities.”
