Hyperoptic has added Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham and Nottingham to the list of cities where it provides 1,000Mbps broadband to homes.
The company now provides gigabit broadband to 12 cities in the UK, the others being London, Manchester, Cardiff, Bristol, Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow and Reading, and the service will soon reach more than 75,000 homes spanning 480 sites, with a target of half a million homes by 2018. All cities were chosen by demand and number of residential developments.
Hyperoptic works in partnership with developers and building management companies, to install its true fibre infrastructure directly into their buildings. Partnerships are in place with firms including Barratt London, St George and Regis Group plc.
Dana Tobak, Managing Director of Hyperoptic, said: “Our mission is to provide a true fibre infrastructure, which empowers residents to future-proof their online lives. In today’s age, broadband should be an enabler, not a hindrance. A fast, consistent, dependable fibre connection is now essential for entertainment, socialising and work.”
