CityFibre has partnered with New Gorbals Housing Association to bring full fibre to homes owned and managed by the provider across the southside of Glasgow.

The blanket wayleave agreement will ensure CityFibre's full fibre network build can continue to go ahead smoothly, meaning residents across the community will be among the first to be able to sign-up for a Gigabit-speed full fibre broadband connection.

Full fibre networks are recognised as the digital infrastructure of the future for both homes and businesses. With near unlimited bandwidth, full fibre will ensure households can utilise the latest smart home technology, stream entertainment across multiple devices and make it easier to work from home, with virtually no buffering or lagging.

Sanjay Sudra, CityFibre's Strategic Wayleave Manager, said: "Digital inclusion is a big issue for us at CityFibre, so it is a pleasure to be working with New Gorbals Housing Association, ensuring as many tenants as possible can access our digital infrastructure.

"Over the last year, our broadband connections have truly been a lifeline as we adapt to new ways of working, socialising and entertaining. We are looking forward to the tenants of the Gorbals reaping the benefits that come with a first-class and future-proof full fibre connection."
