The Berkshire (England) towns of Sandhurst and Crowthorne have just become the latest to start going live on Zzoomm’s new 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network, which should eventually reach over 10,500 premises in the two locations. The UK ISP has also frozen their prices.
Rural UK ISP Wildanet, which last year began the £50m rollout of a new gigabit-capable broadband (FTTP) and fixed wireless (FWA) network in Cornwall (here), has today confirmed that they “have no plans to put our prices up” like many of the market’s largest providers (most of those recently hit consumers with huge price hikes).
Broadband ISP Ogi has confirmed to ISPreview.co.uk that they’ve just managed to unbundle and backhaul their 20th handover exchange in South Wales, which gives them more control to offer cost-effective Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) packages on Openreach’s UK network (i.e. in areas where they aren’t building their own fibre.. yet).
Broadband network builder Netomnia has today added the UK towns and cities of Guildford (Surrey), Carlisle (Cumbria) and Darlington (Durham) to their build plan for a new 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, which once live will be sold to consumers via ISP partner YouFibre.
The Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) programme have announced that UK ISP Airband has upgraded their Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) based “superfast broadband” (30Mbps+) network in remote rural parts of England’s Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, which should bring more capacity and reliability.
