Nottingham City Homes, which manages Nottingham Council’s public housing stock, has signed a supply deal with FTTP ISP Hyperoptic.
Two publicly-owned housing developments in Nottingham are to get access to fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband after Nottingham City Homes – which manages Nottingham’s stock of local authority housing on behalf of the city council – signed a supply deal with ultrafast service provider Hyperoptic.
Residents of Nottingham’s Victoria Centre Flats and The Woodlands developments will be first to receive a symmetrical 1Gbps broadband service, which is well over 100 times faster than the speed they can currently receive.
People opting for the service will have access to both Hyperoptic’s broadband-only product, broadband and landline bundles, and a no-contract service that requires only 30 days’ notice of cancellation and carries no minimum term.
Michaela Spencer, a resident at Victoria Centre, where the installation has been scheduled alongside an upgrade to the intercom system, said: “I don’t know how I’d function without the internet at home, as I do so much on there.
