FibreNation's full fibre broadband campaign convoy is gathering pace with Dewsbury targeted as its next gigabit-ready town. The development follows a roll out in York.
The first properties in Dewsbury are expected to be connected by October 2019 with work due to be completed by 2022.
Paul Crane, Head of Engagement and Rollout at FibreNation, said: “There is a huge discrepancy between the UK and the rest of Europe when it comes to full fibre connectivity and we must bridge that gap. Currently, compared to 80% elsewhere in Europe, only 8% of UK homes and businesses can connect to a full fibre network. This has to change in order to power up the nation’s economy.
“Fibre is the fourth utility we’ve all been waiting for and we’re proud to be at the forefront of its rollout.”
