Carlisle-based alternative network operator and ISP Grain<\/a> (Grain Connect<\/a>), which recently secured a major \u00a3225m funding boost (here<\/a>), has announced that they’re expanding their gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband network in the Midlands (England) city of Nottingham.<\/p>\n

The operator\u2019s broadband network, which is home to over 43,000 customers and covers 270,000 UK premises (aiming to reach 600,000 in the future), has mentioned being active in Nottingham once or twice before. But we’ve previously struggled to find much evidence of that. Suffice to say that we read today’s announcement as being more reflective of the start of their main local build.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Grain<\/a> has so far secured funding deals worth somewhere around \u00a3500m via Equitix, Albion Capital, Pinnacle Group, German Landesbank Nord L\/B, HPS Investment Partners, LLC etc.<\/div>\n

The official announcement doesn’t say much more than to confirm that their new network is “coming soon to even more homes in Nottingham<\/em>,” although after a bit of digging we did identify that their teams seemed to be planning works near the city centre – initially either side of a stretch along Sneinton Dale road. Most of this is due to get underway next month.<\/p>\n

The City of Nottingham is of course already well covered by a number of other gigabit-capable broadband networks, such as Openreach<\/a>, Virgin Media<\/a> (inc. nexfibre<\/a>), CityFibre<\/a> (partial), ITS Technology<\/a> (partial) and Hyperoptic<\/a> (partial). A number of smaller networks, such as Glide and OFNL, also have a presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
