Reading is set to benefit from an industry-leading agreement between full-fibre broadband provider toob and CityFibre.
Through the agreement, the companies are able to offer wider access to full-fibre connectivity in the UK, and under this partnership, residents across Reading can now register their interest with toob, and take advantage of speeds up to 900 Mbps, increasing broadband accessibility and digital inclusion in the region.
As the cost of living crisis continues, prices are rising faster than wages with many people facing difficult choices around affordability.
As a result, almost a million people have switched off their broadband. toob believes that fast broadband should be available for all and not just the few.
Despite the difficult economic climate, toob’s said its affordable full-fibre broadband offering could be a digital lifeline for many in this situation.
toob has a strict no in-contract price rise policy, which means its customers won’t be in for any nasty surprises.
toob and CityFibre’s partnership agreement will see toob’s industry leading broadband service available on CityFibre’s full-fibre broadband technology in Reading.
This technology is different from traditional broadband, with a fibre optic cable running directly into the home.
Full-fibre delivers faster connection speeds, no matter the time of day, and greater reliability when compared to traditional copper broadband.
The full-fibre network promises Reading residents a faster, more reliable internet connection with 15x faster download and 68x faster upload speeds than the UK average.
Nick Parbutt, CEO, of toob, said, “We are delighted to be able to offer our full-fibre broadband service to Reading.
“We believe that fast and reliable broadband is a necessity that should be available to all and are committed to delivering the fastest, most reliable service, using the latest full- fibre technology, at an affordable price.”
