How we Got Here
1990s
BT provide telephone services to Great Asby via a TPON infrastructure. Seemed like a good idea at the time!
2000s
ADSL broadband service becomes generally avalable in the UK. But not to Asby, due to our TPON infrastructure.
2010
Fibre to the Cabinet (FttC) broadband service commenced. But again this is unavailable to Asby due to you-know-what.
BDUK receives £500m+ to promote superfast broadband in those parts of the country not served by the market.
This led to the “Connecting Cumbria” programme.
2016
Openreach provide a modern fibre-optic network to individual premises in Great Asby, making FttP/FttH services available to most residents.
Thanks are due to the Directors of Great Asby Broadband (GAB) for their continual lobbying of Connecting Cumbria and BT to make available a long term ultrafast broadband solution for the parish.
This has resulted in an FttP (Fibre to the Premises) service being made available for the majority of it residents and businesses.
Please note that the facilities provided , and prices charged, by each ISP are constantly changing.
Therefore you should each their websites for the latest information.
