Over 6,000 homes and businesses in rural East Berkshire will be given access to Gigaclear's ultrafast full fibre broadband network as part of the latest phase of the Superfast Berkshire project.
The ultrafast rural fibre to the premises provider has been awarded the contract to help extend better broadband coverage in the county to more than 99.5% over the next two years.
The contract, awarded by West Berkshire Council under its Phase 3 programme, means that premises will have access to speeds of up to 1,000Mbps making them some of the best-connected homes and business in the country.
Once connected, residents will be able to download a movie in less than one minute, upload 200 holiday photos in under nine seconds or download an album in just a few seconds.
Joe Frost, Business Development Director at Gigaclear, said: "We are delighted to, once again, be future proofing connectivity for rural homes and businesses in Berkshire."
Gigaclear also works with Superfast Berkshire under the Phase 2 contract to connect nearly 12,000 homes and businesses in West Berkshire to ultrafast broadband.
