FullFibre Ltd Put Gigabit Broadband Network Live in Leominster
Network builder FullFibre Limited has announced that their new Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based gigabit broadband ISP network has finally gone live in the Herefordshire (England) market town of Leominster, which is home to around 12,000 people and was one of the very first locations added to their rollout plan.
The operator, which deploys its network as a wholesale platform via Fibre Heroes for other ISPs to harness (i.e. consumers should visit that site to check coverage), currently aims to reach “at least” 500,000 premises by 2025. At present most of their initial deployments have focused on parts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, as well as the counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire under the Fastershire project.
The town is just one of many that have recently gone live, with others including Ross-on-Wye and many more to be announced soon.

Dan Jones from FullFibre said:
“FullFibre is thrilled to make this announcement, providing new technology and possibilities for the community and individual residents of Leominster. We hope it can better equip local attractions to aid with the local economy and ensure the town of Leominster is never overlooked again.”
Full fibre can help the town of Leominster develop its digital opportunities, offering a new generation of broadband to those who need it most.”
In terms of pricing, the example ISP of Air Broadband charges £25 per month for their unlimited entry-level 100Mbps (100Mbps upload) package and that rises to £55 for their top 1Gbps (symmetric) tier. The service comes attached to a 24-month minimum contract term, and in the small print there’s mention of a £40 activation fee and £6.50 router delivery charge.

now that is a better idea, Maybe Zzoomm should think of doing that, or maybe I should move to Lions town (Leominster) Or Ross on wye.
Unfortunately Full Fibre are not delivering to customers in Leominster We have been waiting 16 months since we put in an order when the expectation was a few weeks First it was a telephone pole replacement & now issue with cabinet infrastructure Full Fibre Execs seem more interested in installing to new locations rather than completing Leominster installs Communication woefull
