South Yorkshire UK Digital Region Superfast Broadband Project Gains New ISP

Posted: 28th Oct, 2011 By: MarkJ
yorkshire uk broadband internet mapdigital region ukThe Digital Region project, a troubled alternative wholesale network operator that was setup with £100m of public funding to help 97% of homes and businesses in South Yorkshire (UK) gain access to superfast broadband by the middle of 2012, has added a previously unheard of new ISP - LittleBigOne - to their platform.

LittleBigOne is apparently the first ISP on their network to supply a package bundle that offers TV ( IPTV ), phone and broadband services to local residents. At the time of writing their website only mentions a broadband package (TV services will follow in December 2011) and will officially launch this weekend.

Jeremy Sheehan, Head of Sales and Marketing at Digital Region, said:

"Digital Region are delighted make this announcement. It is a significant step forward for local users that want to upgrade their broadband provision and subscribe to a ‘triple package’ of TV, phone and broadband.

There is a tremendous interest in us providing next generation broadband services over the Digital Region network and there are a lot of developments in the pipeline. As the project moves forward we will continue to introduce more services that enable home users, businesses and public services to capitalise on the opportunities the network presents."

Littlebigone.com MD, Teresa Robbins, said:

"We’re very excited about launching this service and giving the people of South Yorkshire the opportunity to upgrade from the often poor internet connections that are experienced in the area. We are passionate about helping people get up to speed.

We are offering a very personal service and will give advice to anyone interested in getting set up online for the first time or improving the service they currently have."

An "exciting" launch event for the ISP will apparently take place on Saturday 29th October, at the Frenchgate Shopping Centre (Doncaster) from 10.30am until 5pm. The ISP will join forces with Hallam FM for a "fun day of games, information and opportunities to win prizes" (iPad's etc.).

The Digital Region project has recently been occupying the news for all of the wrong reasons, most of which have centred on fears that it could be sold off to the private sector (here).
