Brsk announces first homes live in Accrington with customers excited to join the BetterNet
We're proud to share that the first homes in the Accrington area are now ‘live’ with our first customers being connected to the new full fibre broadband network.
Our first customer in Milnshaw had her service installed and activated on the 20th May 2022. Speaking about her experience of being connected to the BetterNet, Victoria Baines said:
“The salesperson was very detailed and accurate with the information given at the point of sale. He was very friendly, and explained in a way that I could understand clearly. Once I explained the issues I was having with my current broadband he came up with a solution straight away, unlike my previous provider who seemed to just ignore me! The installer was equally as friendly, made sure all my questions were answered and cleaned up after himself. It is a very neat and tidy install. The service is very fast and reliable.”
Until now, Victoria was getting an average broadband speed of 42 Mbps in her home, with our new network now offering a 14x faster increase in speed and a more reliable service. Celebrating this milestone, Giorgio lovino, our founder and CEO, said:
“As our network continues to expand, it is fantastic that we have our second region in Lancashire live. We are now able to reach more customers and connect them to world class broadband. For the communities of Accrington, this marks a turning point in the way they experience the internet – communities now have access to a reliable and high-speed connection, with our “excellent” rated customer experience. Communities who are better connected can work more flexibly, access better quality entertainment, and make greater use of all that the Internet has to offer.”
We have also announced additional areas to our Burnley rollout plan. Our network rollout can be viewed here
