GTC today announces that it is now able to offer homeowners even more choice as Vfast Internet signs to become the latest service provider (SP) to deliver broadband on GTC’s ultrafast open access network.
GTC provides fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband and telecoms networks for new-build housing developments across the UK. It is committed to ensuring that customers connected to its networks have a wide choice of suppliers and products – an important selling point for any new home.
GTC’s ultrafast network is fully fibre, all the way into every property. This is unlike a number of alternative providers, whose ‘fibre’ based offers only relate to the connection to the street-side cabinet. This is known as fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC), where the connection to the home is still an old fashioned copper wire, often providing top speeds of less than 40Mbps. Speeds on FTTC networks will always be constrained, unlike GTC’s FTTH network, which gives ultrafast speeds today and can be increased further as customers’ demands inevitably increase.
Vfast Internet is adding a choice of four packages to GTC’s FTTH network, with a range of prices to suit different requirements. The choice of telecoms and broadband packages on GTC’s networks is growing all the time, offering more options for homeowners.
“Our strategy of open access and our ultra-fast fibre-to-the-home networks make GTC an appealing option for service providers and housebuilders alike,” explains Tom Brough, Sales Director at GTC. “Home buyers now view having fast and reliable broadband as being as essential as having water and electricity, and the savvy buyer expects to have a choice of providers.”
Rebecca Brown, Managing Director of Vfast Ltd, comments: “Providing a service on GTC’s fibre network gives us greater access to the fast-growing new-build market across the UK. We are able to offer new home owners a variety of high quality broadband packages and have been doing so for nearly a decade. The open access networks installed by GTC increase the options for competition in the fibre broadband market, which benefits house builders and homeowners.”
Vfast Internet offers customers a range of added extras alongside its reliable, ultrafast broadband products. These include free voice lines, no monthly traffic limits, free webspace and email addresses.
