Work is underway to bring full-fibre broadband to residents and businesses in Cambois. 

 

Northumberland County Council has partnered with an independent broadband provider (FACTCO) to build a full fibre network that is fully funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport under the UK Gigabit Voucher scheme. The network will provide residents up to 1,000 Mbps upload and download speeds. 

 

Coun Alex Wallace, ward councillor for Sleekburn including Cambois, said: “It is fantastic news that residents and businesses in Cambois will soon be connected to full-fibre broadband.

 

"This upgrade in connectivity will provide our community with faster internet speeds, something I know has been an issue in the area for a while now.”

 

Lee Murphy, Managing Director at FACTCO, said: “We’re now ready to connect the community of Cambois.

 

"This is a project that we’re looking forward to completing as we understand the demand for improved connectivity in the area.

 

"We’ve been working closely with the community by supporting local arts organisations, local football clubs and public services.

 

"It is important that these services and organisations access better connectivity to give them the opportunity to thrive.”
