Fibrus is rolling out its network further across rural Cumbria, with 60% more premises gaining access to faster broadband speeds, following the extension of its Project Gigabit contract.

Openreach is continuing to rollout full fibre in Hastings, with more than 25,000 residents now able to connect to faster broadband – an increase to more than 50% of properties in the area.
The network provider plans to roll out the new technology to 25 million homes and businesses by the end of 2026, with an ambition to reach up to 30 million by the end of the decade.
Kieran Wines, Openreach Partnership Manager, said that research shows the new network will give businesses “an edge” and provide families with improved connectivity, alongside supporting homeworkers to build opportunities.
