Full Fibre UK ISP Brsk, which recently began to build a new gigabit-capable and “open access” Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network across parts of West Yorkshire and Lancashire in England (here and here), has now started to connect their first customers in a second town – Keighley.
The operator started their rollout a few months ago in the village of Cottingley, which was later followed by the towns of Keighley and Bingley (50,000 premises for those two), Clayton, Allerton & Sandy Lane, Heaton & Daisy Hill and, most recently, they’ve also added Burnley and Padiham (another 50,000 premises).
The good news is that the network has now started to go live in Keighley, although they still have a long way to go before that rollout has completed.
Giorgio Iovino, Brsk founder and CEO, said:
“We’re excited to bring full fibre broadband to homes and businesses in Burnley & Padiham. After the success of building and connecting our first customers in Bingley and Keighley, we felt that now was the right time to expand our rollout.
As part of our expanded plans we’re establishing strong relationships with key build partners and we’ve also grown our brsk team. We’re looking forward to continuing our build ramp up & supporting our full fibre network with best-in-class customer service and support.”
New customers can expect a “no contract” (1-month term) service with prices starting from £33 per month for an unlimited 100Mbps symmetric speed package with a free installation and included router, which rises to £49 for their top 900Mbps package. As part of their launch, customers who sign up early will be able to try 1Gbps for free, for the first 6-months of service, with no obligation or commitment.
Be interesting to see how quick they will roll out their I build and coming soon areas. Don’t do it quick enough, they’re redundant. Do it quick, get people onboard and could be an actual alternate in those areas.
Just over the hill from Keighley is the small town of Ilkley where alternates to VM and OR provisioned services are needed.
Please make the leap and come to Ilkley.
How’s the Leeds post code over there that you all wanted to make Ilkley sound posh haha
The asterisk reminds me of the the original logo for Be Broadband. Without doubt one of the best ISPs I ever used back in the late 2000s.
