Unfortunately, unlocking that deal might be a little tougher than you might expect. Gigaclear is one of a series of new full-fibre broadband providers that have sprung up in recent years. As Boris Johnson’s Government pushes ahead to ensure that at least 85 percent of all UK premises have access to gigabit-broadband by 2025, a number of new providers have emerged to roll-out the next-generation connections.
Household brands like BT and Virgin Media are forging ahead with widespread upgrades to their own networks, with both forecast to connect 5.5 million and 15 million by the end of the year, respectively.
Gigaclear is currently only available in some 240,000 homes around England, so it’s pretty unlikely that it’s already in your street. However, the plucky full-fibre supplier has some lofty ambitions. It hopes to reach half a million properties by the end of 2023.
