RunFibre Bring FTTP Broadband to Falfield in South Gloucestershire

Broadband ISP RunFibre, which is building a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across rural areas of South Gloucestershire in England, has announced that they’re extending into the rural South Gloucestershire village of Falfield – home to a population of around 800.

The total value of the local network investment is said to be £250,000, which is being supported by a mix of funding from both the Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS) and Runfibre itself, which has contributed an unspecified upfront investment to help build the network.

Dave Swanston, CEO of Runfibre, said: “We are delighted to announce our next project as part of the GBVS scheme, thanks to the remarkable collaboration between the teams involved at DCMS/DSIT, BDUK, SG Council and so on. Their unwavering dedication and support have been invaluable in realising our shared vision of ensuring that every property in our region gains access to reliable high-speed internet services. We anticipate expanding our services to more rural locations in the near future.”

Customers usually pay from £25 per month on a 24-month term for their 100Mbps (symmetric speed) package, which rises to £60 for their top 1Gbps tier. Plus, they offer a cheaper 100Mbps Social Tariff for £20 per month. The provider also sells different services over the CityFibre network in Wolverhampton and Gloucester.
