Blandford-based Wessex Internet has doubled its team to 81 to drive fibre upgrades in rural areas.

"The whole nation is currently undergoing a revolutionary change. People and businesses in rural areas have the same rights to world class connectivity as those in towns and cities," said MD Hector Gibson Fleming.

Across 2020 the company installed 642km of fibre in the ground across Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire, increasing the number of rural communities it connected by 59% year on year.
