Gigaclear has become the first broadband network provider to dig under the River Severn to lay fibre cable. The fibre should mean some 861 homes in the area will be able to order a connection once the fibre network has been extended and the fibre pots installed on the edges of the properties. The 6.5 km of fibre will connect around 861 homes in the villages of Longney and Framilode. It is hoped that this new technology could be used for a variety of purposes including providing high-speed internet access at affordable prices as well as helping with rural areas where there are no fixed broadband.
