Faster internet links on the way

More towns and villages across Somerset are to benefit from ultrafast broadband as part of a multi million pound investment programme.

Bath based Truespeed is investing £22m across the South West as it continues to accelerate its rollout of ultrafast full fibre broadband.

Twelve new areas have been added to its full fibre rollout plan including Bathwick, Widcombe and Combe Down in Bath.

Truespeed’s latest investment is set to bring guaranteed speed, ultrafast and ultra-reliable broadband to a further 43,000 properties across the region.

Thanks to its full fibre technology, Truespeed delivers guaranteed, symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 900Mbps for residential customers and 10Gbps for business users. It has frozen prices until May 2023, offers a 30-day money back guarantee and has a Bath based call centre that aims to answer calls within 30 seconds.

James Lowther, CEO of Truespeed, said: “Access to reliable, ultrafast broadband plays an essential role in everyday life and we’re pleased to be rolling out our ultrafast full fibre network to more homes and businesses than ever before.”
