Broadband ISP and network builder Grain<\/a> (Grain Connect<\/a>) has today added four new locations to their ongoing UK rollout of a gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network, which will see them expand across parts of Whitley Bay and Thornaby in the North East, Blackpool in the North West and Tonypandy in Wales.<\/p>\n

The provider, which is being supported by an investment of around \u00a3200m<\/strong> from Equitix<\/strong> and others (here<\/a>), has already announced deployments across nearly 50 towns and cities, including Hull, Leicester, Liverpool, Accrington, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Scarborough, Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Hartlepool, Newport, Sunderland, Blackburn and many more.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The first phase of Grain<\/a>\u2019s network roll out is expected to cover 400,000 premises.<\/div>\n

Grain<\/a> has tended to make a habit out of targeting areas where there is likely to be plenty of competition from gigabit-capable broadband rivals and today’s announcement is no exception. For example, Blackpool has builds from a variety of different operators, such as Virgin Media<\/a>, Cityfibre<\/a>, ITS Technology<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n

However, as per usual, Grain<\/a> hasn’t provided any information on the timescale for these deployments or how many premises they will aim to pass in each location.<\/p>\n

Roland Barzegar, CFO of Grain, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our journey is an exciting one as we continue to raise the bar with our service and pricing.<\/p>\n

Not only has it meant that we have created job opportunities in Carlisle and across the UK, but it has provided choice for residents in the communities we have connected.<\/p>\n

Our accelerated build programme has allowed us to get to many of these new areas sooner than we expected, which is a win-win for customers who are joining us.<\/p>\n

As a team, we are hugely motivated by the feedback we are receiving and the national reputation we are now growing, and we are excited about Grain\u2019s future.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Customers of the service, once live, can expect to pay from just \u00a325.99 per month for a symmetric speed 100Mbps package on a 12-month term (currently discounted to \u00a317.99), which goes up to just \u00a349.99 for their top 900Mbps plan (currently discounted to just \u00a329.99). All of these packages come with unlimited usage, free installation, a router and a pledge to ensure “no in-contract price rises<\/em>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
