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.
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.”
