Tewkesbury to receive full fibre broadband boost

Tewkesbury-based Netomnia will roll out its full fibre multi-gigabit network in its home town.

Netomnia, the UK's fastest growing wholesale fibre broadband operator, will provide Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband infrastructure to around 11,000 homes and businesses across Tewkesbury, delivering access to its robust and reliable broadband network with an investment of up to £3.3 million.

Tewkesbury is one of the top 10 locations in the South West for attracting overseas investment, and the ultrafast and reliable broadband will help it to sustain and attract new businesses into the area.

Netomnia is partnering with Light Source to roll out its broadband infrastructure in the town, allowing for a strong speed of deployment and execution capability, using cutting edge optical solutions.

Jeremy Chelot, chief executive officer at Netomnia, said: "Tewkesbury is a particularly special location for the team as it is home to Netomnia HQ. As an area with high economic activity and a lot of skilled workers, access to fast and reliable broadband speeds is crucial. We're proud to be building our network to residents and businesses in Tewkesbury, with technology that will support them for decades to come."

Along with its sister company YouFibre, an internet service provider, Netomnia has secured £418 million in funding since 2020 to support its rollout strategy and aims to reach one million premises in 2023.
