Virgin Media is continuing to roll out its gigabit broadband across Exmouth, and now more than 12,000 more homes can sign up to services using speeds of 2Gbps – 16 times faster than the local average.
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.
