Voneus Brings 100Mbps Fibre Optic Broadband to Rural Miserden

Tuesday, Nov 1st, 2016 (12:01 pm) - Score 2,721

Homes in the rural Gloucestershire village of Miserden have apparently been taken out of the broadband “dark ages” after a little known VoIP provider called Voneus built a new fibre optic (FTTP/H) and wireless network into the area, which has made speeds of 100Mbps available to residents.

At present we know very little about the Hertfordshire based Voneus and their website is similarly sparse on detail, although the effort to build a new network in the area has apparently been in the planning phase since 2015 and is a joint project with the local Miserden Estates.

The network, which connects some properties via a pure FTTH fibre optic line and others via a fibre fed fixed wireless network (“WFTTH“), was deployed alongside the roll-out of a new district water scheme and that helped to keep the costs under control (we aren’t told how much it cost).

However a quick check suggests that some parts of the area were already able to access a slower FTTC broadband connection via Openreach (BT), with others being within reach of an 8-17Mbps capable ADSL2+ service. Suffice to say that we’ve seen areas that are a lot worse, although it’s unclear how many are able to receive the existing solutions.

Gary Day, Voneus Sales Director, said (Comms Business):

“The successful roll out of Voneus Together in Miserden is the result of nearly a year’s worth of careful consultation with the community. Voneus worked closely with residents, businesses and Miserden Park Estates, to understand the challenges resulting from inadequate broadband speeds, and it’s a pleasure to see the village reaping the rewards of a robust internet offering.”

Apparently Voneus has also connected up the local village hall free-of-charge. Now if only their website would give some indication of network coverage, especially as they claim to be deploying networks across the UK.

Otherwise prices for the 100Mbps service start from £20 inc VAT per month with a 20GB usage allowance or £34.99 for unlimited usage and a £149.99 installation fee also applies.
