Another build done! Residents and businesses in Startforth are basking in the benefits of the community’s latest investment, a brand-new full fibre network.

Built by RuralFibre4U, this FACTCO-operated network will grant almost 500 properties gigabit-capable broadband.

Operations Director Jake Wright is proud of RuralFibre4U’s on-the-ground team for delivering such a high-quality network. Hard work really does pay off!

“These builds are no small feat, to see the network go live for the community is rewarding for all of us,” he said.

“We spend months planning, designing, and building infrastructure that’s going to last decades in the community. Being part of something that really does change lives, communities, and businesses is really rewarding.”

FACTCO CEO Lee Murphy couldn’t be happier with the quality and delivery of the network build and is so excited for Startforth residents to take advantage of this investment.

“We’re dedicated to bridge another digital gap for rural communities left behind by larger broadband services,” Lee said.

“Better broadband isn’t just about fast internet, it’s about giving rural communities back their time, allowing them to work from home, connect with loved ones and unwind on the couch without lagging, stress or worry.”

“RuralFibre4U has done an amazing job of turning FACTCO’s mission into a reality.”
