5Gbps Freedom Fibre in Ellesmere

Ellesmere is a small Shropshire town built around its meres, and like a lot of rural Shropshire it has spent years on whatever the copper would allow. Freedom Fibre's local build into SY12 has changed that, and Olilo's 5Gbps service is the option for households that want symmetric multi-gig and a static IP rather than a stripped-down consumer line.

From the High Street out toward The Mere and the lanes around Cremorne Gardens, most of the town is in scope.
