In the next four years , Giganet plans to build to 300,000 homes across Hampshire , Wiltshire , Dorset and West Sussex with its own fibre network rollout . Neos Networks – with its 550 unbundled exchange network – will provide Giganet with the local connectivity required to carry traffic to its data centres and across its national network .

“ Using Neos Networks ,” he added , “ we have been able to secure connectivity to our points of presence faster than expected , initially enabling each of our first four regional rings with resilient 100GB / s backhaul . This means our south coast rollout is progressing at pace .”
