Project Gigabit

As the UK’s largest, independent full fibre network, we already serve millions of premises in cities, towns and villages nationwide. This makes our platform ideal for expansion into many rural and hard-to-reach areas.

The cost to serve harder-to-reach areas is often prohibitively high though. In our nine Project Gigabit contract award areas, UK government subsidise our build costs based on their careful assessment of premises that would otherwise get left behind. Thanks to this funding support, we're able to make a meaningful difference to communities that have long-since deserved much better broadband.

If we could build it overnight, we would, but these things take time. As we build, we’ll do our best to make sure everyone knows what to expect, when to expect it and where they can order from.

If you’re a resident or run a business in the area, it’s a good idea to check your address on our website from time to time in case plans change. We also recommend registering your interest with us – especially if you’re keen to benefit from your new network as soon as it's available.
