Does anyone have to pay to be connected?
• All properties in the project area will receive a fibre connection with no cost or
commitment
• Gigaclear contractors will deliver a buried ‘pot’ to the boundary of every property
passed.
• To get connected, sign up with an ISP and Gigaclear will connect you for free*(*95% of properties will be zero cost – based on distance and surface materials between Gigaclear pot and property)
