Brsk has begun work in Salford to enable 25,000 homes and businesses in the city to access full fibre broadband.
Rural Broadband Solutions has named Stiperstones and Woolston in Shropshire as the first areas ready for services on its fibre network.
The investment in this area of the county will also include the surrounding villages of Habberley and Cardington by the middle of September.
"Our first two gigabit capable FTTP networks are now ready for service in the villages of Stiperstones and Woolston, thus enabling 68 premises in deep rural Shropshire to enjoy the benefits of fibre broadband,” said Chris New, CEO of RBBS.
“This is part of a project to connect just under 5,000 properties to our FTTP network before Christmas 2022, with further staged announcements as each location goes live.”
