Openreach, a prominent broadband provider, is calling upon residents of Dowsby, Lincolnshire, to seize a unique opportunity for ultrafast, ultra-reliable full fibre broadband. The company emphasizes that this may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the community, urging residents to apply for free Government broadband vouchers.
Currently, more than 70,000 homes and businesses across Lincolnshire already enjoy the benefits of full fibre broadband. However, Openreach believes that Dowsby, located between Market Deeping and Sleaford, has the potential to join this league and transform its digital connectivity.
Through the UK Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme and the deployment of cutting-edge broadband signal boosting technology, Openreach aims to extend the reach of its full fibre network to remote rural communities. This initiative opens doors for areas like Dowsby to embrace ultrafast technology.
Residents can check their eligibility and pledge their vouchers on the Connect My Community website. Importantly, these vouchers come at no cost to residents and enable Openreach to collaborate with the local community in building a customised, co-funded network. This approach ensures that even premises in outlying rural areas, which may not be covered by private investment, can benefit from the ultrafast, ultra-reliable network.
Dowsby now stands at the precipice of a digital transformation. Residents hold the key to propelling their community into the era of ultrafast broadband, ensuring faster speeds and greater reliability for local homes and businesses.
