Press Release
UK leading full fibre broadband provider, brsk, has announced that work is underway to upgrade connectivity to 11,000 homes and businesses in Colne, Lancashire to world-class infrastructure that will provide symmetrical speeds up to 2Gbps.
This network deployment is part of brsk’s mission to transform digital connectivity in underserved areas, giving those without access to full fibre technology the chance to enjoy faster speeds and reliability at competitive prices, on a superior service compared to the existing copper connections still serving some premises today.
Brsk recently released a 2Gbps product to the market following a trial with a selected number of customers, which received very positive feedback. This exciting product expansion will see customers on the brsk network able to enjoy some of the fastest broadband speeds in the UK, with pre-existing customers now able to upgrade their services.
Speaking of the rollout, brsk Lancashire Regional Head, Darryl Nieuwenhuizen 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.”
Having passed 126,000 premises in Lancashire already, including Burnley, Blackburn with Darwen, Bacup and Rossendale, to name a few, Colne is the latest area to benefit from brsk’s investment.
