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.
Premises in Picton are the first to go live under phase four of the Superfast North Yorkshire project.
Phase four is being carried out by NYnet, owned by North Yorkshire County Council and run by Quickline Communications.
Quickline adopted a hybrid approach of fibre and wireless to ensure rural premises would benefit.
“Gone are the days when rural areas are left behind to cope with substandard internet services,” Sean Royce, CEO of Quickline Communications.
“Reliable connectivity has been a lifeline for many over the last 18 months and anything less is unacceptable in the 21st century.”
