More homes in Camden and Westminster benefit from G.Network’s latest partnership with Peabody.
Partnerships with local London authorities demonstrate the company’s continued commitment to delivering affordable full-fibre broadband across the capital.
Together with the Peabody Trust, G.Network has now completed the first phase of rollout plans, boosting broadband speeds for homes across Camden and Westminster. The partnership with one of the UK’s oldest not-for-profit housing associations demonstrates G.Network’s continued ambition to build a better-connected London.
Following the first installation in January, G.Network has worked hand in hand with Peabody to bring fast, affordable and reliable broadband to residents living in Peabody homes. This partnership has been significant in connecting hundreds of customers without the need for multiple individual wayleave agreements, helping to cut the red tape and eliminating delays sometimes associated with full-fibre obtaining access from landlords.
Sharing in Peabody’s ambition to increase digital inclusion, this partnership has seen G.Network support Peabody residents with local on-site activity and the offering of a social tariff, Essential Fibre. The tariff provides eligible residents with access to full fibre broadband for just £15 a month, enabling G.Network to break down the digital divide and reduce social poverty by financially supporting Peabody residents.
With G.Network’s service in high demand, partnerships continue to be an important part of the company’s network build momentum. The agreement with Peabody follows the announcement of a partnership with Islington Council and Greater London Authority (GLA) late last year, with the full fibre provider continuing to expand its network across the capital to meet growing demand in 2024.
Kevin Murphy, Chief Executive of G.Network, commented: “G.Network is ambitious about improving connectivity across the capital, as it is an essential part of Londoner’s daily lives. Far too often customers are experiencing frustrating delays caused by the complexity of wayleave agreements. Reflecting on our partnership with Peabody allows us to recognise the importance of removing physical and social barriers to connectivity. We are delighted to have strategic partners like Peabody, onboard, enabling us to better connect Londoners by rolling our full-fibre network fairly and affordably across the boroughs”.
