“Our Faster Britain bus is doing more than going on tour; it's a mission to educate and connect businesses across the UK with high-speed, reliable connectivity, as well as help them navigate and thrive in a digital world.
“We’re moving closer towards the copper switch off in 2025 and the government’s target for providing access to full-fibre connectivity.

This bus and its tour symbolises our commitment to making gigabit-capable connectivity accessible to all businesses”.
