GoFibre is celebrating connecting 1,000 Hawick residents, as build completes in the town with homes and businesses now benefitting from full fibre.
Over 100,000 homes are now ready for service on Lit Fibre’s network, with the altnet rolling out at a rate of 10,000 new premises passed per month. This is a significant milestone as it looks towards 500,000 UK homes by 2026.
