ULTRAFAST full fibre broadband is being rolled out in Barry as part of an £8 million investment in the area.

Fibre broadband operator Netomnia has announced it will roll out its full fibre multi-gigabit network in Barry, providing Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband infrastructure to around 29,000 premises in Barry.

This follows the announcement of its first move into Wales towards the end of 2021, to provide access to around 55,000 premises in Bridgend to its full fibre network.

Managing director at Netomnia Alan O’Prey, said: “Barry is a hugely popular seaside town where access to ultrafast broadband is more important than ever following a revival in the popularity of UK holiday destinations.

“We are passionate about providing access to fast and reliable broadband, to attract talent to the local area, enable businesses to work more effectively and provide more ways for communities and individuals to communicate with each other.

“Our investment in Barry will bring real benefits to the area and its residents for many generations to come.”

The company is partnering with O’Connor Utilities to deliver its broadband infrastructure to Barry.

Netomnia secured £123 million in funding to support its rollout strategy at the end of 2021 and aims to reach one million premises by 2023.
