Broadband ISP BeFibre<\/a>, which alongside network partner Digital Infrastructure<\/a> is building a full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) network across towns in several counties (e.g. Essex, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire etc.), has signed a 3-year partnership with Linksys to supply customers with MX4200 Wi-Fi 6 routers.<\/p>\n

Warrington-based BeFibre<\/a> and Digital Infrastructure began their rollout last year with an aim to cover 1 million premises across 80 UK towns and cities by the end of 2027 (here<\/a>), albeit starting with an initial goal of achieving 200,000 premises passed (Ready for Service) by the end of 2022 (14,000 had been completed by August). Multiple towns, such as Crewe, Brentwood, Worcester, Clacton on Sea, Hattersley and many more, are due to benefit (here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> BeFibre<\/a> \/ DI is fuelled by a \u00a3100m investment from Basalt Infrastructure Partners.<\/div>\n

Customers of the BeFibre<\/a> service can expect to pay from \u00a329 per month on a 24-month term for an unlimited 150Mbps (symmetric) package with free installation, which rises to just \u00a351 for their top 1Gbps tier. The first 3 months of service are currently free on all of their packages. But the good news today is that subscribers will now also receive a WiFi<\/a> 6 capable router – the Linksys MX4200<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The MX4200 router is actually part of Linksys’ Velop Whole Home Mesh System, which is a tri-band device that is theoretically capable of delivering WiFi<\/a> speeds up to 4.2Gbps<\/strong> (Gigabits per second). “We want to upgrade our customers\u2019 worlds, transforming how they live, work and play<\/em>,” commented BeFibre\u2019s chief customer and operations officer, Louise Elliott. “After all, we need greater connectivity than ever before \u2013 whether we\u2019re busy with video calls, working from home, binging on box-sets, or gaming<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
