Warminster is one of six new UK towns added to Lit Fibre’s rollout plans, which look to cover 500,000 UK homes by 2026, reports the Wiltshire Times.
This makes Warminster the fourth town in Wiltshire to be addressed by the altnet, following Westbury, Melksham and Chippenham.
Lit Fibre’s Community Manager for the West, Daniel Budd, told the newspaper: “Our team is on the ground across Wiltshire showing the difference that Lit Fibre can make by connecting and supporting the community."
