Windsor Telecom is bringing CityFibre’s full-fibre services to businesses in Reading, Maidenhead, Slough and Bracknell.

CityFibre, the UK’s third national digital infrastructure platform, has appointed Windsor Telecom as a City Champion for Reading, Maidenhead, Slough, and Bracknell – continuing its commitment to driving the full fibre message out to as many businesses as possible in the region.

For Windsor Telecom, the agreement, it’s claimed,  provides the opportunity to offer the fast speeds and reliability of full-fibre to its customers at an attractive price; a proposition that companies in these four economically-strong areas will welcome.

CityFibre Head of Wholesale Andrew Wilson said: “We’re pleased to welcome Windsor Telecom as a City Champion. We’ve made significant investments to bring full-fibre to the Thames Valley area and want to do everything we can to give businesses the opportunity to take advantage. With its strong reputation and presence in the region, Windsor Telecom is ideally placed to help us reach our goals and make use of CityFibre’s full-fibre infrastructure to deliver the bandwidth and performance that companies need to compete effectively.”
