Gigaclear is investing £7m to connect 7,000 premises in rural Suffolk to full fibre.

The expansion will connect premises in Clare, Glemsford, Long Melford, Great Waldingfield, Acton and Lavenham by the Spring of 2023.

Tony Smith, East Regional GM, said: “The way in which we live and work depends on the internet, something that has been sharply underlined by the pandemic.

“Suffolk is a completely new area for us, but given our build activity in neighbouring Essex, this move made sense. We’ve already started our work in the community of Clare, connecting those suffering from inadequate broadband provision to our ultrafast network.”
