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.
YouFibre has begun connecting customers in Frome, Somerset, after first announcing the build in December 2021.
The first customer on the network was presented with champagne, a year’s free broadband and a year’s free YouMesh solution.
MD Ryan Battle said: “Being able to provide full fibre broadband to towns like Frome is exactly what we are about. Ultrafast broadband should be accessible to everyone.”
YouFibre’s sister brand Netomnia is investing £20m to connect 68,000 premises across Frome and neighbouring town Trowbridge.
