Shortly after that they began expanding into Usk, Tidenham + Stroat (border villages in Gloucestershire), Penywaun, Llancayo (site of their HQ) and Aberdare.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands today, Country Connect&#8217;s network is also being expanded into the Welsh Valleys of Penywaun, Hiruwaun, Trenant, plus the village of Bordon in Hampshire (England). The operator is clearly doing something right because they&#8217;ve even managed to deliver a good level of penetration at 34% (customer take-up).<\/p>\n<p>Some of this work has also overbuilt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/voneus\" target=\"_blank\">Voneus<\/a>&#8217; rival network (largely because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/voneus\" target=\"_blank\">Voneus<\/a> were unable to offer a viable wholesale option), although they usually try to avoid overbuilding fellow altnets. Overall, for a smaller altnet, they appear to be doing quite well for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Customers of the service tend to pay from \u00a330 per month for a 300Mbps (symmetric) fixed price package with both free installation and a free Wi-Fi 6 router, which rises to \u00a340 for their top 900Mbps service.
