Giganet, the leading local Internet Service Provider (ISP), has announced the launch of its full-fibre broadband services in Salisbury.
Giganet Salisbury is a collaboration between local broadband provider Giganet, and Openreach, who have installed the fibre infrastructure across the city.
Salisbury will be one of the first cities in the UK to go completely full-fibre and leave behind the Victorian-era copper telephone network that was never designed for today’s Internet usage. As part of Openreach’s infrastructure, up to 20,000 homes and business in the city will be able to receive up to 1Gb/s speeds, with Giganet able to provide the top 1Gb/s services from 23rd March 2020. The full-fibre technology is future-proofed and able to scale beyond 1 Gigabit per second in the years to come. Giganet’s prices in Salisbury will start from just £35 per month for a full-fibre connection with no line rental required.
Salisbury’s citywide full-fibre roll-out is around 80% complete, with the remaining schedule to be reached by the end of March 2020, said the Company. From March, Giganet will start accepting orders via the Giganet website for homes and businesses to access the exclusive full-fibre only broadband network.
Through its partnership with Openreach and direct investment in the local Internet Exchange, Giganet will be rolling out its home broadband service nationally and providing Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) to currently around 2 million UK premises.
