Wessex Internet has hit a major landmark with the connection of its 10,000th customer and is now on track for 60 percent growth this year.
The lucky customer, Dan Phillips from Bisterne, Hampshire was delighted to hear he has won 10 years’ free gigabit broadband as part of the company’s celebrations.
The ISP is rolling out its network and has surpassed 30,000 properties ready for its gigabit service.
The company focusses on delivering network to hard-to-reach communities across Dorset, South Somerset, Wiltshire and the New Forest and has four government Project Gigabit contracts worth £71m deliver full fibre broadband to over 53,000 properties in the next four years.
Wessex Internet continues to scale its network and customer base in a targeted way, and has taken 5,000 orders this year, regularly installing 500 new customers each month.
Hector Gibson Fleming, CEO of Wessex Internet, said: “We are focussed on expanding our services to places where we deliver real social value, and working with our Project Gigabit contracts is enabling us to do that faster and more consistently than ever before.
“Our continuing trend of a 30 percent network wide take-up proves that our targeted strategy is paying off.”
