We are delighted to be able to announce that we are bringing gigabit-capable wireless broadband to Blackburn. After working closely with Blackburn with Darwen council, we can confirm that we will soon be beginning work to connect the entire town over the next 24 months.

Blackburn residents to receive fibre speed broadband
For the vast majority of Blackburn residents, this will be the first chance to access this type of technology, which will be capable of delivering speeds of up to 6,000 Mbps by 2025.
Introduction high speed broadband offers
To kick things off, we are offering 100 Mbps ultra-fast broadband at £21 – a price that is up to 50% cheaper than Virgin. Our speeds will then increase significantly year-on-year while still remaining much cheaper than major providers. It also means Blackburn will be one of the first towns in the UK where residents have the option of gigabit fibre speeds as standard.
Quick & Easy network build
As we have mentioned in previous blogs, the way we roll-out our network means there is usually very little disruption to residents. However, we have put carefully thought-through plans in place with the council to ensure that this continues to be the case.
There will be very little road-digging and most of our infrastructure can be installed within a day or two. We will have liaison officers on the ground during installation to make sure everything is going smoothly, and if there are any issues, residents will be able to call a helpline that will be dedicated to supporting them from the moment work begins.
We will continue to keep you updated as we get more confirmations, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, why not check if you’re eligible today.
