NextGenUs says rural consumers are frustrated at lack of broadband
Residents in rural areas have had enough of relying on BT to provide them with broadband, Guy Jarvis of NextGenUs has said.
The internet service provider's (ISP's) managing director Guy Jarvis claimed residents in rural parts of the country have "simply had enough" and are no longer prepared to rely on Broadband Delivery UK and BT to bring them faster internet access.
As a result, an increasing number of activists are turning to NextGenUs to ensure their communities do not miss out on being "at the forefront of future-proof super-fast broadband service".
"Time and tide are clearly right for the mass uptake of super-fast broadband across the UK and the subject is gaining significant and growing momentum as local communities recognise the unique benefits of the NextGenUs Social Enterprise approach," Mr Jarvis remarked.
Several communities have already declared their interest in being connected to NextGenUs's infrastructure, which comprises up to 100Mbps fibre optic broadband and Wi-Fi services.
Last month, the ISP announced the village of Barnetby in north-east Lincolnshire is set to benefit from its FiWi solution, which offers download speeds of between 10 and 60Mbps and can be deployed in a matter of weeks rather than months.
Darren Jervis, a local resident, put the wheels in motion for the deployment by registering himself as the village's 'broadband pioneer'.
Commenting on the news, NextGenUs boss Mr Jarvis said the company's business model - based on the motto "prove the demand and we'll build the network" - is capable of working across all of the UK and throughout Europe.
Householders in Barnetby have now been urged to register their interest in receiving super-fast broadband from NextGenUs.
The company has previously delivered a next-generation fibre-to-the-home network to the village of Ashby de la Launde in Lincolnshire. According to the ISP, this work made Ashby the "fastest village in Europe".
