Price’s Court, a 133-flat riverside development in Wandsworth, has become the first building in the UK to benefit from 1 gigabit superfast broadband speeds. The service has been provided by, Hyperoptic, the first broadband provider to make 1 gigabit download speeds happen in Britain.

Alongside lifestyle benefits, the installation enhances property value as those wired with fibre will be far more desirable to tenants. It also future proofs the building. Zair Berry, Chairman at Price’s Court said, “We could immediately see the benefits a fibre network offers our residents.”

Hyperoptic is a challenger to BT and Virgin with a competitive pricing strategy, starting at £12.50 per month for line rental, including free UK evening and weekend calls.
