The latest figures from the National Farmers’ Union reveals that farmers are being left behind because of the high cost of installing full fibre broadband in rural areas, according to a story on the BBC.

toob is rolling out its full fibre service to residents across seven more counties in the UK, as part of its strategic partnership with CityFibre.
The partnership agreement with CityFibre sees toob’s broadband extending its geographic footprint, with residents across Kent, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Suffolk, East Sussex, West Midlands, and Warwickshire being the next to benefit from the altnet provider’s full-fibre broadband.
These will include Chatham & Gillingham, Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft, Eastbourne, Hastings, Warwick & Leamington Spa, Rugby, and Coventry.
This expansion of toob’s broadband service will increase accessibility and digital inclusion in the region through its high-speed connectivity using CityFibre’s fibre optic cable technology.
