Reaching the most rural
Having super-fast broadband has opened our eyes to new ways of promoting ourselves to customers Rhiannon Fraser, Park Manager
“ ” • A family-owned holiday and retirement park in rural Perranarworthal, Cornwall • Experiencing broadband speeds fifty times faster than previous connection • Used to drive company accounts to the accountants in Falmouth, now they are
emailed almost instantaneously • Installing CCTV cameras over the fast, stable Wi-Fi connection. Before super-
