WORK is currently taking place in Martock to connect homes and businesses to ultrafast broadband set to be a ’game-changer’ for the town - according to the UK’s leading rural, full-fibre broadband provider, Gigaclear.

Gigaclear is expanding its network on a commercial basis to underserved market towns and communities in Somerset, where internet speeds are still extremely poor.

Jo Scarrott, regional general manager at Gigaclear, comments: “This is going to be a game-changer for households and residents throughout Martock. Not only can people get better speeds, but they can save money in the process. It really is a win-win.

“The build is also part of our strategy to spread connectively further afield in Somerset.

The infrastructure laid as part of our build in Martock will enable us to soon reach areas such as Langport and Curry Rivel.”

Gigaclear’s full-fibre upgrade is bringing speeds of up to 900Mbps to 600 homes and business premises in Martock. With this speed, it takes just four seconds to download a film in its entirety.

The expansion of Gigaclear’s network build to Martock is expected to be completed by early 2023.
