Digital delight for Silloth as Full Fibre comes to town

More than 1,000 properties in Silloth can now take advantage of our lightning-fast Full Fibre broadband.

Silloth is the latest town to benefit from Full Fibre in Cumbria, joining towns like Workington, Parton and Wigton, which have all been connected in recent months. As a result, people in the area can now get Fibrus Broadband in their homes and businesses with speeds of up to 1Gb.

We would like to thank the residents of Silloth for their patience while work was being carried out in the area.

Reflecting on the latest roll-out, Chris Collins, Head of Network Build at Fibrus, said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring the benefits of our Full Fibre network to even more communities in Cumbria. At Fibrus, we use a full-fibre optic cable all the way to the premises creating a quality and reliability that cannot be achieved any other way. This will make a big difference to local businesses and families in Silloth, allowing them to access more reliable broadband rather than having to rely on slow copper wires for their internet.

And he added: “As you will have fibre directly to your home, you will no longer need a traditional telephone line. If you use your telephone line for making and receiving calls, we can provide you with an excellent low-cost alternative using VoIP (voice over IP) Technology.”

As well as investing in broadband, we have also been investing in local communities. The Fibrus Community Fund has seen the company invest £60,000 over the last 12 months to tackle digital poverty across Cumbria, including supporting Carlisle Radio FM Limited (CRFM). This investment sits alongside Fibrus’ Play it Forward fund, which has been providing grants to nearly 20 Cumbrian grassroots sports clubs, including supporting Aspatria Hornets RLFC and Wigton Hockey Club. It also sponsors the Fibrus 100, the first Cumbrian cricket league for girls.
