Fluidata to bring more ISPs to Digital Region

Residents in the Digital
Region of South Yorkshire will soon get a much larger choice of Internet
Service Provider following news that Fluidata will be connecting their network
to the Digital Region network. Fluidata operate a wholesale network that
allows ISPs to gain cost effective access to multiple DSL wholesale providers
and LLU networks through one connection. It allows companies to save money on
multiple costly links to various operators and aggregate them through one
link.

“If the government is serious about providing everyone in the UK with decent
broadband, then we need to think differently. There are creative and effective
ways to provide broadband choice across the country. Even providing broadband
in rural areas doesn’t have to be one-horse race.”

Piers Daniell, (MD) Fluidata

“The partnership between Fluidata and Digital Region means better broadband
services and better choice for residents and businesses in South Yorkshire. The
Digital Region network is transforming broadband provision in South
Yorkshire.”

David Cowell, (Chief Operating Officer) Digital Region

This news will hopefully drive take up of users on the network. Whether they
can be attracted away from the larger providers of BT or TalkTalk who can
generally offer cheaper services will have to be seen.
