York-based operator UK Fibre Networks has rebranded Fastr Broadband as it continues to roll out its network to 8,000 homes and businesses in its native city centre.
The Norse word Fastr was chosen to reflect ultrafast speeds whilst drawing upon the city’s Viking roots and reflecting its status as a York independent business.
The network is currently available in: Blake Street, Bootham, Church Street, Claremont Terrace, Colliergate, Coney Street, Coppergate, Gillygate, Goodramgate, High Petergate, Low Petergate, Lord Mayor’s Walk, Marygate, Stonegate, Swinegate and Parliament Street.
The company will shortly announce new build areas inside the city walls.
Pete Evans, Director, Fastr Broadband, said: “We work closely with Digital York, Streetwork’s and Highways teams and so it’s with their approval that we can build considerately at their approval that we can build considerately at night, tidying up old cables up as we go and reusing existing boxes to connect the network.”
