Fibrus reaches 250000 homes across Northern Ireland, Cumbria
Fibrus, a Belfast-based full-fibre broadband service provider in rural and regional areas of the UK, has announced a milestone update in its fibre network rollout. Fibrus has reached 250,000 homes across Northern Ireland and Cumbria.
The full fibre service provider, which started during the Covid-19 pandemic, has supported thousands of people in rural communities by offering high-speed broadband connectivity.
According to the company, some moments on the path to the milestone include the following:
- More than 17,000 kilometres of fibre is laid to connect homes across NI and Cumbria – more than the distance from Giants Causeway to the Great Barrier Reef.
- Fibrus’s customer base has increased 5x in one year, and customers get 5.1 million hours of fibrefast broadband each week.
- The team has grown to over 400 people.
- The company plans to connect 1 million homes in the future.
Dominic Kearns, chief executive officer, Fibrus, says “To reach this milestone is an awesome achievement. The Fibrus brand is becoming trusted in the areas we serve, and this is no accident. Our focus on offering affordable prices, quality, and service has helped us gain momentum in the past twelve months. We know these factors make our customers happy and that’s why people are joining Fibrus in their droves. We are constantly looking for opportunities to densify our network and grow. I’m already looking forward to celebrating our next milestone!”
