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.
Truespeed has begun work to connect 6,000 properties across Uphill, Bleadon and Banwell through a £4m investment.
CEO James Lowther said: “We are now in a position to further our investment in north Somerset and connect more homeowners.
“The need for broadband isn’t just about using your home computer anymore, connection is intrinsic to the smooth running of our day-to-day lives from a remotely operated thermostat, security camera, or smart meter to a TV, mobile phones, tablets, and games consoles.”
To date, Truespeed has connected over 150 schools and community centres across the south west. It is now looking for opportunities to support organisations in north Somerset such as clubs societies and charities.
