Bournemouth: C4L begins local fibre digging to boost connectivity

With fast connectivity being the most highly-rated priority for local businesses and visitors in the digital town, C4L has begun installing a high-capacity fibre network across Bournemouth to serve its customers with business-grade connectivity.

With the town recently named as 'the fastest-growing Digital economy in the UK', and home to over 400 digital businesses, many of these corporations seek higher Internet speeds to make business-critical tasks such as email, file sharing, design, video rendering and website orders much more efficient.

C4L has begun meeting these requirements by providing superfast fibre to the centre of Bournemouth from its Westbourne Data centre.  Customers on the fibre network will be able to enjoy Internet speeds of up to 10Gb/s, a significant improvement on the current 3mbps average.

Matt Hawkins, chairman and founder of C4L, said: “Bournemouth is the fastest-growing digital economy in the UK, competes globally and is a fantastic place to live, and so deserves to have the best chance of continued success with business-grade connectivity.

"Installing superfast fibre in Bournemouth has always been a dream of mine as I can see how it will accelerate the town even further. With government Connection Vouchers of up to £3,000 being eligible in the area now too, there is nothing to stop businesses improving the platform they trade from.”
