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.

Cornwall-based Wildanet is expanding into Devon with plans to address 25,000 homes and businesses through its first phase rollout.
To support the expansion, WIldanet is opening a new warehouse, offices and a logistics centre, as well as creating 60 new jobs.
Earlier this year, the altnet began working in the Totnes area in South Devon, installing a new fibre network for the town. It is now working in over 15 areas across the county.
This full scale move will see investment in communities from South Molton and Holsworthy in the north and west, to Yealmpton and Axminster in the south and east.
CEO Helen Wylde said: “Our work in the region is showing what can be achieved through commitment, innovation, our own investment and strategic partnerships with Government.
Wildanet was earlier this year awarded £36m of contracts under Project Gigabit to deliver fibre to an additional 19,250 premises in hard-to-reach areas in Cornwall.
