Openreach has rolled out its broadband network to more than 50,000 homes and businesses in the Brighton and Hove area.
Engineers are currently extending the full fibre network to more properties in the east side of the city, including Kemptown.
Kieran Wines, Openreach partnership director, said, “Research shows that this new network will give businesses an edge and provide families and home-workers with future-proof connectivity.
“Our investment across Brighton continues at pace, and we’re determined to deliver a great service which helps this community thrive and supports people to work from home easily, keep in touch with their loved ones and build connections and opportunities.
“Ultrafast broadband can have a huge impact on people’s lives and it’s great for the economy but upgrades aren’t automatic. People need to place an order with their chosen providers to get connected and we’ll do the rest. Our network offers the widest choice of providers such as BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and Zen – which means people have lots of choice and can get a great deal.
“Even if you already have a decent enough service, it’s worth checking if you can upgrade, because full fibre is the future, and it provides the best broadband experience at great value for money. There’ll be no more worrying that your video call might freeze, or your files are failing to upload when everyone’s at home competing for bandwidth at the same time.”
