A £46m investment boost provided by Aviva Investors has enabled Essex-based ISP County Broadband to kick off the roll out of a full fibre network across villages in the east of England.
Lloyd Felton, CEO at County Broadband, said: “Since securing the investment we have been identifying target areas. Many premises might have access to broadband, but the ultrafast speeds that we will all soon need are only available to around 6% of the UK. Household usage and data consumption is already predicted to increase 10-fold every six years and only ultrafast solutions will match this requirement.”
County Broadband has already deployed an all-fibre Gigabit network in Broughton, Cambridgeshire, and supports over 3,000 homes and businesses with its wireless-based broadband services in the region.
County Broadband was established 16 years ago as a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) specialising in the provision of wireless broadband networks and services to difficult-to-reach places, especially in rural areas.
