Man connecting Clovelly

The whole team at Airband have been thrilled to be involved in connecting the historic village of Clovelly to our superfast broadband.

Picturesque Clovelly in Devon is renowned as one of the UK’s only privately-owned villages. The village is home to a herd of donkeys, once beasts of burden, who now enjoy the cliff-side views from a stable at the top of the village.




 

Perched on a cliff-top, its steep, narrow streets are also home to just 300 residents, who until now were unable to access a fast and reliable broadband connection.

But thanks to the experts within our organisation, and working in close partnership with Connecting Devon and Somerset on this most challenging of new installations, this will no longer be the case.

Airband managing director Red Peel comments; “At Airband we take pride in bringing connectivity to rural areas across the country. We’re especially proud to be working in partnership with the residents of the beautiful village of Clovelly – a truly one-of-a-kind area.

“We’re thrilled to be offering superfast broadband to this area and providing residents and business owners with the many benefits which better connectivity brings, whilst also preserving the unique character of the environment which makes Clovelly so special. I think that this is perhaps the most challenging broadband installation we’ve ever undertaken.”
