SHROPSHIRE VILLAGES FIRST TO GO LIVE WITH FIBRE-TO-THE-PREMISES

 

Rural Broadband Solutions Plc (AQSE: RBBS), a leading provider of broadband
services to rural areas of the UK, has announced that Stiperstones and
Woolston in Shropshire are its first locations to have fibre-to-the-premises
(FTTP) technology rolled out.

 

The investment in this area of the county will also include the surrounding
villages of Habberley and Cardington by the middle of September. Customers
have a choice from the four packages offered by SWS Broadband, a subsidiary of
RBBS: 30Mbps at £26, 90 Mbps at £36, 300 Mbps at £42 and 900 Mbps at £89
per month, respectively.

Chris New, CEO of RBBS, said: "We are excited to announce that our first two
gigabit capable FTTP networks are now ready for service in the villages of
Stiperstones and Woolston, thus enabling 68 premises in deep rural Shropshire
to enjoy the benefits of fibre broadband. This is part of a project to connect
just under 5,000 properties to our FTTP network before Christmas 2022, with
further staged announcements as each location goes live.

We are prioritising high speed connectivity within rural communities through
the implementation of a hybrid infrastructure and are dedicated to connecting
rural communities to fibre with help from the Gigabit Broadband Voucher
Scheme, Project Gigabit."
