Alternative network ISP Country Connect<\/a>, which last year began building a new gigabit capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband network in South Wales (here<\/a>), has just celebrated having covered 2,750 homes and businesses in their initial deployment area. But that number could double by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

The latest figure might not seem like much when compared with some of the biggest AltNet builds, but this is still good for a provider of Country Connect’s comparatively diminutive size. In total, their engineers, which first started work in the village of Ponthir<\/strong> and town of Caerleon<\/strong> last year, have since laid 30 kilometres (over 18 miles) of new fibre in just the past 10 months.<\/p>\n

However, the provider is admittedly a bit behind their original target, which means that they now expect to have a total of 5,000 premises Ready for Service (RFS) by 1st September 2022. A good chunk of this new fibre is also being run via Openreach<\/a>’s existing cable ducts and poles using PIA (Physical Infrastructure Access).<\/p>\n

Customers of the service tend to pay from \u00a325 per month for a 100Mbps (symmetric) package, and that rises to \u00a359.99 for their top 900Mbps package (500Mbps upload). The ISP also offers a “social tariff<\/em><\/a>” for those on benefits, which gives you symmetric speeds of 50Mbps for just \u00a315 per month, as well as an included router and free installation on a 12-month term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
