Wessex Internet has connected its first customer in South Wiltshire as part of an £18.8 million contract awarded by Project Gigabit, bringing faster broadband to around 14,500 residents across the region.
Guildford has become the 23rd town to gain access to YouFibre’s gigabit services as the altnet connects its first customer in the area.
The customer received a bottle of champagne and a year’s free broadband.
The altnet recently celebrated connecting its 10,000th connection, just four months after its 5,000th.
MD Ryan Battle said: “Connecting our first customer to the YouFibre network in Guildford is a testament to the hard work of the entire team.”
