Edinburgh-based alternative network and UK ISP GoFibre, which has been building their new full fibre (FTTP) gigabit broadband network across rural parts of Scotland and Northern England, have confirmed that their deployment in the Scottish town of Montrose has connected its 1,000th customer.
The operator has so far managed to build their network to cover over 120,000 premises (RFS) across over 30 “local areas”. But to celebrate the latest milestone in Montrose they’ve teamed-up with local ice cream shop, Scoops of Moo, for a special community event on Saturday, 17th May.
From 1pm to 3:30pm, local residents and businesses will be invited to experience the full flavour of full fibre at Scoops of Moo in the heart of Montrose. During this time, guests can meet the GoFibre team to learn more about the benefits of ultra-fast full fibre broadband. But only the first 20 guests through the door to register their interest with the Scottish broadband provider via online sign-up will be able to enjoy a complimentary ice cream or treat of their choice.
However, everyone who purchases one of the special GoFibre ice creams over the weekend will still be gifted a pair of “stylish” GoFibre sunglasses, which is.. something.
Andy Hepburn, COO of GoFibre, said:
“Reaching the milestone of 1,000 customers in Montrose is more than just a number to us – it’s a testament to the trust and support we’ve received from the local community.
This event is our way of saying a big thank you to everyone in Montrose and surrounding areas who have welcomed us with open arms and chosen GoFibre. We’re excited for what the future holds and look forward to connecting with more of you as we continue to grow.”
