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.
Zzoomm is making a £5.5m investment in Middlewich, Cheshire, to bring fibre within reach of 6,500 properties.
The altnet is already operating networks in the surrounding towns of Sandbach, Crewe, Nantwich, Congleton, and Northwich.
CEO Matthew Hare said: “By continuing our expansion across Cheshire, we are ensuring homes and businesses in Middlewich join nearby towns in receiving future ready broadband.”
Zzoomm’s infrastructure division boasts a 350-strong in-house civils team that runs five regional hubs and two training centres that allow it to recruit from local communities and develop local talent.
