Infracapital-backed network provider Fibrus, which has spent several years rolling out their gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network across rural parts of Cumbria (England) and Northern Ireland, has announced that they’ve just connected their 100,000th customer (up from 90,000 on 31st Jul 2024).
The operator, which has so far built their full fibre network to cover 400,000 UK premises (up from 375k on 26th Aug 2024) and claims to be “fully funded to complete” their roll-out plan for 500,000 premises in the near future (here), added that they’ve already laid a whopping 24,042km of fibre across their network. Fibrus has also invested over £600k into local communities and grassroots sports clubs.
In order to celebrate this, Thinkbroadband has spotted that Fibrus are calling on families from connectable locations around Northern Ireland and Cumbria to nominate someone to be flown home in time for Christmas Day (i.e. a return flight from anywhere in the world, up to the value of £2,000), “turning their FaceTime realities into a Face-to-FaceTime Christmas dream come true” (here). But this is only for one person.

However, Fibrus added that the competition may be able to help additional travellers, but only if the flights are under the capped costs, then “we may be able to offer the leftover sum to pay for some of the additional traveller’s costs. Please note, the applicant or loved one will have to cover anything that exceeds the capped cost.”
Applications for this competition will close at midnight 19th November 2024.
