MS3 Networks has expanded its full fibre coverage to over 60,000 premises across Lincolnshire, including homes in Scunthorpe in north Lincolnshire.
The expansion into Scunthorpe, which is nearing completion, could add up to £9m to Scunthorpe’s GDP and create up to 100 local jobs, according to an independent report commissioned by the altnet.
Guy Miller, CEO of MS3 Networks, said: “Supporting economic growth across regions that are at risk of digital exclusion is a hugely important part of our work.
“Access to full fibre broadband not only attracts new businesses to an area, but also encourages local talent to stay, which is key in driving the economy of regions such as north Lincolnshire.”
Councillor Tim Mitchell, North Lincolnshire Council’s cabinet member for connectivity, added: “Fast, reliable broadband is vital for local people and businesses. With the rise in people working from home this superfast broadband opens up a world of opportunity for local people.”
