Alternative network provider Freedom Fibre<\/a>, which are busy rolling out a 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband networks across different parts of England (North West and Midlands), has today announced that they’ve become the latest operator to sign the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC).<\/p>\n

The AFC broadly reflects a pledge to recognise the contribution of serving personnel, both regular and reservists, veterans and military families \u2013 often as part of recruitment (i.e. ensuring they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives). A number of other broadband operators (e.g. BT<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a>, EE<\/a>, Plusnet<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, CityFibre<\/a>, Virgin Media<\/a>, G.Network<\/a>, Wildanet and many more) are also signatories.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Backed by investment from InfraBridge (DigitalBridge) and Equitix. Freedom Fibre<\/a>\u2019s network already covers 315,000 UK premises across parts of Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Shropshire in England, as well as North Wales. The operator also holds the Gov\u2019s Project Gigabit contracts to cover 15,000 rural premises in Cheshire (here<\/a>) and 12,000 in North Shropshire (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

Nathan Vautier, Freedom Fibre<\/a>\u2019s CEO, said: \u201cFreedom Fibre<\/a> is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant as we recognise the value and unique skills, qualifications and experience that people who have trained and served in the Armed Forces bring to complex infrastructure projects delivering gigabit fibre to Britain. As part of our commitment, we actively encourage flexibility, mobilisation and understanding within the business and we look forward to building our work force with former members of the Armed Forces, continuing to support initiatives that highlight the opportunities and recognition they deserve from our country<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
