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 is investing £17m in a new town-wide network that will bring fibre services within reach of almost every home and business in Rugby.
Construction is being delivered by build partner Callan Connect and is scheduled to begin in September and continue until early 2024.
As work is completed in each neighbourhood, services will be available from a range of broadband providers.
As Area Manager, Neal Wright will be responsible for overseeing the project, while also acting as the main point of contact for all stakeholders.
“We cannot wait for residents and businesses to see what is possible with digital connectivity that propels you forward rather than holds you back,” he said.
Cllr Emma Crane, Rugby Borough Council portfolio holder for Communities, Homes, Digital and Communications, added: “We have worked with CityFibre to demonstrate the business case for superfast broadband in Rugby and provide the necessary infrastructure to support their investment.”
