Alternative broadband ISP Grain<\/a> has today named the next batch of 8 UK towns and cities where they expect to build their new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network, which includes the likes of Wigan in Greater Manchester and Preston in Lancashire.<\/p>\n

The provider, which is being supported by an equity investment of \u00a375m<\/strong> from Equitix (here<\/a>), has already announced deployments for parts of Hull, Leicester, Liverpool, Accrington, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Scarborough, Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Hartlepool, Newport, Sunderland and Blackburn. A further 11 locations were then added to this list at the end of last year (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Some \u00a3100m in debt funding from lenders was also being discussed last year, as well as a further equity raise.<\/div>\n

Today’s announcement brings the total number of towns and cities in their UK rollout plan to 34 and means the company is on-track to “connect hundreds of thousands of homes to their network in the coming years<\/em>” (300,000 premises by 2026 is the current expectation, but this may rise).<\/p>\n

Grain<\/a>’s Latest 8 UK Towns and Cities<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Birmingham – Birchfield
\nGateshead
\nLincoln
\nPreston
\nPlymouth – Keyham
\nSt Helens
\nWigan
\nWolverhampton<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As with many of Grain<\/a>’s existing builds, the provider seems to be knowingly choosing to deploy in some locations that are already considered to be aggressively competitive, thanks to the presence of gigabit-capable networks from rivals. No doubt they’ll be trying to undercut some of those players or, alternatively, they may also try to build into the bits that have yet to be tackled.<\/p>\n

Tracy Karam, Grain<\/a>’s Head of Customer Experience, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The response from residents and businesses to what we are offering has been very positive, with many signing up to our service before work on their street has even been started.<\/p>\n

Our service has become even more popular in recent months, as customers rely more and more on a fast, reliable and secure network for working, learning, gaming, and entertainment. We are pleased to be rolling out our offer prices to many new areas, allowing them to experience the benefits of full fibre at unbeatable prices.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once live, customers can expect to pay from just \u00a325 per month for a symmetric speed 50Mbps package, which goes up to \u00a355 for their top 900Mbps plan. All of these packages come with an 18-month minimum contract term, unlimited usage, free installation, router and a pledge to ensure “no in-contract price rises<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Sadly, the announcement makes no mention of how many premises will be covered in each new location or over what timescale. We’d also quite like to know how many premises Grain has already covered, although their build expansion is only a few months old (prior to this they focused most of their efforts on new build home sites and were present in over 100 such developments).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
