Wessex Internet has connected its first customer in South Wiltshire as part of an £18.8 million contract awarded by Project Gigabit, bringing faster broadband to around 14,500 residents across the region.
nexfibre will be connecting 15,000 premises in High Wycombe and Marlow to its full-fibre network, in partnership with Virgin Media O2.
Rajiv Datta, CEO of nexfibre, said: “By boosting access to broadband, we are enabling access to the tools needed to participate and thrive in a modern, digital society and stoking growth in the local economy.”
