Alternative network operator and ISP Brsk, which has already built their 2Gbps Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to cover “over” 676,000 UK homes and is in the process of being merged with Netomnia (here), has today announced that their full fibre service is being extended to cover 11,000 premises in the Lancashire town of Colne.
The town of Colne already has access to gigabit-capable broadband from Virgin Media (O2), while Openreach have also expanded their own FTTP across much of the area and Brsk will thus be the third gigabit network to operate in the same location. All of this should complement the 126,000 premises in Lancashire that the operator has already reached, including in Burnley, Blackburn with Darwen, Bacup and Rossendale, to name a few.
New customers of the service currently pay from just £19 per month on a 24-month term for symmetric speeds of 150Mbps, then £25 for 500Mbps, £30 for 900Mbps and £55 for their top 2Gbps (2000Mbps) tier. The packages all include free installation, a router and a pledge of no mid-contract price rises.
Darryl Nieuwenhuizen, Brsk’s Lancashire Regional Head, said:
“We are thrilled to be bringing cutting-edge technology to Colne. Access to fast and reliable broadband is crucial in today’s digital age, and we are committed to ensuring that smaller towns in the county like Colne get the connectivity they deserve.”
