Fibrestream Limited is effectively the trading arm of NextGenUs UK CIC, which specialises in designing and delivering technology and ISP communications solutions that bring super-fast (up to and above 100Mbps) broadband internet access to businesses, communities and individuals in some of the remotest and most rural parts of the UK countryside.

The NextGenUs approach essentially offers local communities a future-proof fibre optic based Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband network, which they call the "4th Utility", that is asset locked and where a minimum of 65% of surplus is returned to the local community. In effect the group puts people first over profits.

For example, NextGenUs deployed FTTH with the RNLI Humber crew and families at Spurn Point in summer 2009, the first FiWi (Fibre Wireless) deployment in the remote rural parish's of Newton-upon-Rawcliffe and Stape (North Yorkshire) in February 2010 and the UK's first rural FTTH village in Ashby (Lincolnshire) during November 2010. 

As a result NextGenUs's / Fibrestream's founder, Guy Jarvis, has a somewhat unique insight on the best way to get Britain hooked up with the next generation of super-fast broadband services. Naturally we wanted to know what he thought of 2010's various broadband developments and his feelings on the new government's current direction.
