A new alternative network and broadband ISP called Gig-ability<\/a> is in the final stages of being setup. The operator appears, at least initially, to be planning to deploy a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network across poorly served rural villages in Shropshire (England), before expanding into other parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

The network operator, which has been setup by the former boss of South Gloucestershire focused AltNet RunFibre, Dave Swanston<\/strong>, initially appears to be targetting the communities of Ackleton, Badger, Beckbury, Chelmarsh, Chesterton, Claverley, Eardington, Hampton Loade, Hilton, Ludstone, Much Wenlock, Stableford, Sutton, Worfield and Wyken.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The company Gigability Limited<\/a> (15294189) was officially incorporated on 20th November 2023 and is based in the Buckinghamshire town of Princes Risborough.<\/div>\n

According to Dave, Gig-ability aspires to cover 10,000<\/strong> “extremely rural premises<\/em>“, starting this month with a build in the small Shropshire parish and market town of Much Wenlock<\/strong>. The town is home to a population of almost 3,000 and currently isn’t served by any gigabit-capable broadband networks, although Openreach<\/a> and Airband<\/a> aren’t far away.<\/p>\n

The provider hopes to create 15 local jobs in Shropshire, and they’re currently in the final stages of securing approval to harness Openreach<\/a>’s existing cable ducts and poles (PIA), which will be used to help run some of their new fibre optic cables. But a good chunk of their roll-out is to be handled by a principle build partner, which is being selected. Code Powers to aid street works are also being secured from Ofcom<\/a> via Trenches Law.<\/p>\n

In terms of funding, Gig-ability has secured an initial investment of \u00a31m to kick-start their mobilisation, which could rise by another \u00a35m if they’re able to hit the usual progress milestones along the way. In theory, this could then be replicated for a future expansion into parts of Wiltshire<\/strong> and Scotland<\/strong> (potentially pushing their committed investment to around \u00a315m), which would ultimately form part of their wider Phase 1<\/strong> build.<\/p>\n

As well as the commercial investment, the provider is also considering the possibility of harnessing the Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme<\/a> (GBVS) and may even bid on some smaller contracts within the \u00a35bn Project Gigabit programme, although it remains to be seen how successful they will be in that regard.<\/p>\n

Starting a new AltNet in this climate, particularly one with a focus on rural areas (not the cheapest of places to build), is no mean feat and Gig-ability will no doubt have a busy year as they begin their early build phase. Naturally, we’ll stop back later to see how much progress they’re making.<\/p>\n

The first customers can expect to pay from just \u00a315 per month for their 250Mbps “Equal Access<\/em>” package on a 12-month term, which rises to only \u00a337.50 for their top 1Gbps tier – all with symmetrical speeds. Such pricing is aggressively competitive, but may also make it harder for the operator to secure a timely return on their investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
