5Gbps Freedom Fibre in Eccles

Eccles is one of the denser parts of Salford and a textbook case for an XGS-PON upgrade - lots of older terraces, lots of remote workers, and a fair number of households trying to share a single fibre line between four people. Olilo's 5Gbps Freedom Fibre tier is the relief valve for that.

Coverage runs through the town centre, Monton, Winton, and the streets around the Eccles tram terminus.
