BOURNEMOUTH businesses are being promised gigabit speed broadband services as CityFibre rolls out its pure fibre network across the town.

It says the launch will ‘transform businesses, delivering greatly increased efficiency, competitiveness and enable huge growth potential.’

Rob Hamlin, head of business development at CityFibre, said: “Following its successful launch in York, we are delighted to extend our internet leased line services to businesses in Bournemouth, to enable them to benefit from the most advanced connectivity available in the world.

With this service, customers are able to employ more efficient working methods, such as cloud-computing, advanced teleconferencing, real-time communications and voiceover IP and transfer huge files and data in seconds.

“These services transform workplaces, increasing employee efficiency and job satisfaction.”

CityFibre already owns and operates the UK’s largest fibre-to-the-home network in Bournemouth, with its internet service provider, Gigler, offering gigabit speed broadband services to more than 21,000 homes.

To support smaller businesses in Bournemouth who also want to take advantage of transform-ational gigabit speeds, Gigler will be extending its services to businesses located on its network, launching a business broadband product which will enable them accelerate their growth potential.

Greg Mesch, CEO at CityFibre, added: “Bournemouth is a fantastic location for business, and the launch of these services will enable the business community to thrive.

“The extension of our Gigler service ensures businesses in Bournemouth, no matter their size, will have the opportunity to access gigabit speed services, which enable businesses to compete, both now and in the future, against companies from all over the world.

“CityFibre has invested heavily in the town of Bournemouth to transform it into a ‘gigabit town’.

“We are working closely with Bournemouth Borough Council to deliver the connectivity it needs to provide services to the town as efficiently as possible and we look forward to continuing to support the local economy.”
