The first homes in North Shropshire have been connected to full fibre broadband through Project Gigabit.
Freedom Fibre, an alternative network provider, made this possible with £24 million of UK government funding.
Since March 2024, Freedom Fibre has been working on this project, and now 1,600 homes in Hadnall, High Ercall, Walton, Shawbury, and Bomere Heath are ready to connect.
Chris Beane, the first to connect in Hadnall, said: " [It has] made a significant difference in my daily activities, and all at a price similar to my previous, much slower broadband"
Nathan Vautier, Freedom Fibre CEO, said: "Digital equity is necessary for all, and we are proud to have reached this milestone."
