St Benedict’s Junior School in Glastonbury has become the 150th recipient of Truespeed’s free broadband for life promise, which is offered to a community venue in each area the altnet expands into.
Over eight years the company has connected 40 schools and 110 community hubs, giving more than 5,700 children direct access to fibre broadband.
CEO James Lowther said: “By offering free broadband for life to schools and community venues, we extend the benefits of ultrafast connectivity to those who may not be able to afford broadband or computing services at home.
“This then frees up budget lines for recipient schools and organisations, like St Benedict’s, to reinvest that dividend elsewhere.”
