Countryside full fibre for Dorset and its neighbours, run from Ranston near Blandford and reaching from Cranborne Chase to the New Forest.
About Wessex Internet
Wessex Internet builds full fibre to the door in some of the most remote corners of Dorset, South Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire. Its patch runs from Cranborne Chase to the Dorset coast and into the New Forest, and it describes itself as a local, independent business that has seen first-hand how slow broadband holds rural communities back.
The company was formed in 2007 and is based at Ranston, near Blandford. It connects homes and businesses, with packages pitched at everyone from light browsers and online shoppers to busy households full of gamers and streamers.
Its package for busy households also comes with the Wessex Internet WiFi Promise, which it pitches at larger or older properties.
