InternetTY Build FTTP Broadband to 12,000 Lincolnshire UK Premises

UK ISP InternetTY (aka – Internet ThankYou), which in 2020 began deploying a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to “rural and semi-urbanised areas” across Staffordshire and Lincolnshire, has revealed that they now cover around 12,000 premises in North Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire.

This is the first update we’ve had from the network operator in a long time, so it’s good to see that their new Point-to-Point style “full fibre” network is still keeping busy. Just to recap, their original deployments started in the village of Ulceby and town of Barton-Upon-Humber, where they rubbed up against some overbuild from KCOM’s network. But since then they’ve reached several more locations.

Apparently, the operator is also feeling a bit festive because they’ve just helped Santa to start some of his rounds in Barton (pictured).

Sarah White, MD of InternetTY, said:

“Last year, Santa didn’t make his usual sleigh ride around Barton, and the absence was deeply felt. Many of our team live locally, and we overheard conversations in the office like, ‘It doesn’t feel like Christmas without it.’ This sentiment was shared across the town.

When we spoke to the local Rotary and Lions, who traditionally organise the event, we discovered that the reason Santa couldn’t visit was due to insurance challenges. Even more concerning, they explained that the event wouldn’t go ahead in future years unless this issue was resolved. That’s when we knew we had to step in!

For decades, this annual event has been so much more than just a visit from Santa Claus. It’s a much-anticipated highlight for the entire community, bringing families together and creating cherished memories that last a lifetime. It’s not just about a jolly figure in red riding a light-filled sleigh with festive tunes playing—it’s about the spirit of togetherness, joy, and hope that makes Christmas special.

I’m incredibly proud of my team for rallying behind this cause, ensuring that no child—or ‘big kid’—misses out on the magic of meeting Santa at Christmas, right on their doorstep. We can’t wait to see the smiles, hear the laughter, and feel the excitement as families come together once again to celebrate.”
