Alncom Wireless Broadband

Superfast Wireless Broadband

Over the past few months local representatives including County Councillor Glen Sanderson, Northumbrian Water, iNorthumberland, landowners and local residents have been leading on a new initiative to bring superfast broadband to parts of the rural communities of Fontburn, Rothley and Nunnykirk.

This has now been achieved in many areas, with further coverage happening in the coming months.

Why do I need Superfast Broadband?

Superfast broadband opens up a whole new world of cutting -edge software and applications that connect you with people all over the world. Some of the benefits for both businesses and residents can be found on the back of this flyer and there is a lot more information on our website.
