ISP Ogi’s FTTP Broadband Rollout in Wales Passes 4,565 Homes

A few months ago Ogi started their £200 million project (here) – backed by Infracapital – to deploy a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to cover 150,000 premises in South Wales by 2025. The good news is that their build has already passed 4,565 households.

The programme, which is still in its earliest ramping-up phase, is initially aiming to cover premises across Haverfordwest (Pembrokeshire), Abergavenny (Monmouthshire) and Rhoose and Llantwit Major (Vale of Glamorgan), before expanding out into more areas over the next few months and years.

Customers of the new service can expect to pay from £35 per month for an unlimited service with downloads of 150Mbps (15Mbps upload), free installation and an included wireless router (or a mesh system on their faster plans). Both 12 and 24-month terms are offered. The top package will give you 900Mbps (90Mbps upload) for £65 per month.

Ben Allwright, CEO of Ogi, said:

“Gigabit broadband is the future, and we’re building it here and now for Wales. From the outset, we knew we wanted to continue to protect and reassure our customers. The next few years are going to be transformative for Wales, and the UK as a whole, and at Ogi, we wanted to make sure that those who have been underserved for years didn’t fall any further behind.”

End.
