Work to connect the village began in early 2024 when engineers from telecoms company Gigaclear started extending its network from Wymington and Newton Bromswold using fibre optic cables. They have been going street-to-street either digging new trenches or using existing infrastructure such as poles and ducting in order to reach each property.
Senior Project Manager Vikki Ellis said Gigaclear is working hard to ensure rural communities such as Sharnbrook can access the same fast and reliable full fibre broadband enjoyed by larger urban areas.
She said: “Taking our full fibre to rural communities that might otherwise have copper or an inferior part fibre broadband connection fundamentally changes them for the better because it creates choice for the people in those communities about how they work and how they live their lives.”
