5Gbps Freedom Fibre in Atherton

Atherton and Tyldesley sit on the western edge of Greater Manchester between Leigh and Wigan, in one of those patches where broadband options have always lagged behind the denser suburbs. Freedom Fibre's XGS-PON build into M29 and M46 covers over a thousand premises, and Olilo's 5Gbps tier makes the most of it.

Coverage stretches from Atherton town centre through Tyldesley, Howe Bridge and toward the East Lancs Road.
