Grain is bringing faster broadband to Burton-on-Trent, in a major upgrade that will transform internet speeds for residents who will get dedicated full fibre connection.
CityFibre has begun work in the town of March to construct a £5m full fibre network.
As the network is completed in each neighbourhood, ISPs will light them up with broadband packages.
Rebecca Stephens, Regional Partnership Director and CityFibre’s City Manager for March, said: “This is the start of an exciting new chapter for the town as it gets ready to thrive in the digital age.”
Cllr Chris Boden, Leader of Fenland District Council, added: “This is a once in a generation upgrade that will futureproof our network infrastructure at a time when connectivity has never been so important.”
