Openreach has committed $3.6 million to enhance the Full Fibre network in Brighouse, bringing high-speed internet access to approximately 85% of local properties. This investment represents a significant upgrade in connectivity, offering residents and businesses the benefits of fast and reliable broadband.
The new Full Fibre technology allows households to utilize multiple devices at gigabit-capable speeds, which is crucial for supporting online trading and enhancing competitiveness for local enterprises. Brighouse residents interested in upgrading to Full Fibre can check their eligibility through Openreach’s online fibre checker.
Kasam Hussain, Partnership Director for Yorkshire at Openreach, emphasized the importance of this upgrade, stating, “Fast and reliable full fibre broadband gives households and businesses a significant boost.” He further noted that Openreach is dedicated to leading the UK’s digital transformation, connecting communities nationwide and securing the network’s capabilities for future generations.
Hussain highlighted the advantages of Openreach’s vast infrastructure, the largest in the UK, which allows residents to compare various offers suited to their needs. However, he also reminded citizens that switching to the new technology requires proactive steps, as upgrades are not automatic.
