Alternative network builder and UK ISP Pine Media, which has been steadily deploying their own gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband infrastructure across parts of Sheffield and South Yorkshire (England) for quite a few years now, has just revealed that they’ve now covered 40,000 premises.
The milestone, which is a notable increase from the 36,700 premises they reported roughly five months ago, represents one of the network provider’s largest single jumps in full fibre coverage to date and puts them much closer to achieving their long-held target of 50,000 premises.
“Most ISPs sell a service on someone else’s network. We own ours. We build it, run it and support the customers on it, with no wholesale layer and no subcontracted engineers,” said William Dear, CEO of Pine Media. The provider’s fleet of engineering vehicles has also recently gone fully electric.
