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.
Virgin Media has made full fibre available to more than 24,000 additional homes and businesses in Wirral.
The network has been built on behalf of nexfibre, which is investing £4.5bn to deliver high speed FTTH connections to five million homes across the UK by 2026.
It recently passed the milestone of a total of one million premises passed and ready for service.
Virgin Media O2 is using this next-generation network to deliver its broadband and TV Stream services to homes and businesses in the area.
Rajiv Datta, CEO at nexfibre said: “nexfibre’s multi-million pound investment in Wirral will enable thousands of households and businesses to access the benefits of full fibre broadband, including being able to participate in the local economy and connect with the community.”
