WarwickNet Expand FTTC and FTTP Broadband for Coventry Businesses

Tuesday, Aug 30th, 2016 (1:12 pm) - Score 705

UK ISP WarwickNet, which builds its own 100Mbps+ alternative fibre optic broadband networks to connect disadvantaged businesses, has announced that three new Street Cabinets will soon go live to cater for 100+ businesses around Torrington Avenue in Coventry (West Midlands, England).

Apparently the cabinets, which should help to support the new availability of Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP), Leased Lines and VDSL2 + Vectoring based Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) technology, will be placed at the junctions with Templar Avenue, Nickson Road and Gravel Hill.

The new infrastructure will be able to deliver “ultra-fast” class broadband speeds of 100Mbps (Megabits per second) or greater and this will no doubt be welcomed by local SME businesses, many of which complain that the best they can get today is only around 4Mbps (assuming they don’t opt to pay through the nose for an expensive Leased Line).

Mark Davison, WarwickNet’s Senior Business Development Manager, said:

“It’s completely unacceptable that businesses such as those operating from Torrington Avenue still do not have access to high-speed broadband.

As a Coventry-based company, we have been working hard to ensure that businesses across the city are supplied with the connections they need and not simply left to struggle with slow download speeds which prohibit productivity and create an advantage for their competitors.

It’s our hope that the cabinets installed on Torrington Avenue will allow more than 100 businesses working from this largely industrial area to once again operate on a level playing field.”

Leigh Hunt, Communications Manager for CSW Broadband, said:

“We are extremely grateful to WarwickNet for the work they have carried out across the city. The more work carried out by independent network providers, the more funding there is for the CSW Broadband project to tackle the hard to reach areas.”

The development also means that WarwickNet has, over the past five years, now increased its Coventry coverage from 5 to 23 business parks and city-centre locations, and now provides high-speed Internet connections to more than 250 businesses in the area.

On top of that it’s also good to see the local state aid fuelled CSW Broadband scheme recognising the contribution, which allows them to focus public investment on other areas.
