The bus is embarking on a UK tour, visiting around 98% of the Faster Britain network and spanning key locations from Liverpool to London, Birmingham to Brighton and everywhere in-between.
Andie Walton, Head of Marketing at ITS, said:
“Our Faster Britain bus is doing more than going on tour; it’s a mission to educate and connect businesses across the UK with high-speed, reliable connectivity, as well as help them navigate and thrive in a digital world.
“We’re moving closer towards the copper switch off in 2025 and the government’s target for providing access to full-fibre connectivity. We’re doing our part by taking a multi-faceted approach to support our partners and the UK’s business community as they utilise ultrafast speeds and prepare their businesses for the future.
“This bus and its tour symbolises our commitment to making gigabit-capable connectivity accessible and understandable to all. Throughout its journey, the bus will host connectivity clinics, providing practical advice and insights into the transition from copper to fibre. It aims to educate and empower businesses, showcasing how faster, more reliable internet can transform operations and drive growth.”
