What our network means for your community
Our long-lasting full-fibre infrastructure brings plenty of long-term benefits.
When we were preparing to roll out our full-fibre network, we always looked to use existing infrastructure – such as telephone poles and underground ducts – as much as possible. Partly to reduce the disruption our building works might have caused, and to ensure we were able to connect customers and communities to our broadband as quickly as possible.
Where that was impractical, we installed our own underground and overhead network, which did at times cause some short-term disruption. That was unfortunately unavoidable, but we always aimed to minimise this disruption.
However, once our full-fibre, ultrafast network had been installed and was ready for customers to get connected, there are plenty of brilliant benefits and advantages our network.
Advantages of our network
The benefits and advantages of ultrafast connectivity to your area are as far-reaching as they are varied.
As well as bringing ultrafast, ultra-reliable broadband directly to your router, our full-fibre network also provides your area with adaptable and scalable connectivity that’s perfectly-suited to your community’s ever-increasing online needs for decades to come.
We also provide free broadband connections to local primary schools and community hubs in areas our network passes, and future-proof communities by supporting local causes, clubs, projects and initiatives to flourish and grow – especially when times are tough, and when other providers are leaving these sorts of areas behind – in any way we can.
Improved connectivity has been proven to increase house prices in the surrounding area, and also means local businesses can enhance their online offering to customers throughout the South West and beyond.
