Full fibre broadband is coming to Kingsclere courtesy of Gigaclear




Engineering work begins this month to connect more than 1,500 homes and businesses in Kingsclere to full fibre broadband.

The work, which is being carried out by broadband provider Gigaclear, is due for completion in spring 2024, with the first residents having access by November this year.

The Kingsclere project is part of Gigaclear’s £18m investment in underserved rural communities in Hampshire.

Gigaclear delivery director Ben Woods said: “There are many great benefits to living in rural communities such as Kingsclere but having access to the fastest broadband speeds is not always something people expect.

“People living in towns and cities, on average, enjoy much faster speeds than people in rural locations and Ofcom says that divide is growing.

“However, Gigaclear’s mission is to address this gap and bring full fibre faster speeds to residents in rural villages and towns so they’re able to work from home, stream online entertainment, scroll and gameplay just like everyone else.”

During the engineering work, Gigaclear will be utilising existing Openreach ducts and poles wherever possible in order to minimise disruption.
