Over 11,000 more homes in Huddersfield can now access Virgin Media’s gigabit broadband services for the first time.
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.
nexfibre recently announced it has already reached one million premises passed and ready for service.
Councillor Graham Turner, Cabinet member for finance and regeneration at Kirklees Council said: “As we all conduct more of our lives online, digital connectivity becomes a crucial part of the infrastructure to support our modern lives.
“That’s why we’re currently investing in digital connectivity, for years we have been committed to making Kirklees one of the most digitally connected councils.”
Rajiv Datta, CEO at nexfibre said: “nexfibre’s multi-million pound investment in Huddersfield will enable thousands of households to access the benefits of full fibre broadband, including being able to participate in the local economy and connect with the community.”
