Wessex Internet has begun network construction in Martin and Whitsbury, to kick-start its government-funded contract across the New Forest.
The altnet was awarded a £14m government contract in April, to connect 10,500 homes and businesses across the national park to gigabit-capable full fibre broadband over the next three years.
Its construction in Martin will act as one of the springboards into the New Forest. Work has also started in Whitsbury, a village near Fordingbridge. These communities will begin being connected in 2024.
Hector Gibson Fleming, Wessex Internet CEO, said: “Over the coming months we will continue our close collaboration with the community as we bring the benefits of world-class connectivity to residents and businesses across the New Forest.”
