Freedom Fibre is currently delivering ultra-fast broadband to an initial build of 5,000 homes in Culcheth.

Freedom Fibre, the alternative network provider founded by tech entrepreneur and former TalkTalk boss Neil McArthur, is on target to plug 50,000 homes into its network.

Launched in 2020, Freedom Fibre has started rolling out Fibre-to-the-Premises broadband network across rural parts of the North West and aims to deploy its “full fibre” network to 100,000 properties in the region by the end of 2022.

It has now accelerated its roll out after securing a second round of equity injection and expects to exit the year with £30m of capital as part of its continued scale and growth plans.
