Great Missenden to benefit from connection to full fibre broadband

Engineering work is due to start during February 2023 to connect 1,700 homes and businesses in Great Missenden to full fibre broadband.

The work is part of a £38 million investment in Buckinghamshire by ultra fast broadband provider Gigaclear, which is expanding its full-fibre network to under served market towns and communities in the county.

Where possible, Gigaclear will be utilising existing Openreach ducts and poles in order to minimise disruption during the build phase which is expected to be completed by June 2023.

Gigaclear Central Delivery Director Ben Woods said: ‘Whilst many other broadband providers compete to offer their services in dense, urban areas we’re focussing on communities in Buckinghamshire that are far less likely to have a choice of supplier.

Having access to reliable and fast broadband speeds is no longer a luxury but is necessary in order for many people to live their lives fully, whether it’s working from home, streaming or accessing other online entertainment.

At Gigaclear we’re all about delivering digital happiness and what better way to do this than by delivering the peace of mind that comes with having access to full fibre broadband.

Gigaclear’s full-fibre upgrade is bringing speeds of up to 900Mbps, which would enable homeowners to download a film in its entirety in just four seconds.

Further information, including if residents can connect to the Gigaclear network, can be found on the Gigaclear website using the postcode checker at www.gigaclear.com.

Gigaclear Ltd is principally owned by Infracapital, a leading European Infrastructure investor.
