5Gbps Freedom Fibre in Irlam

Irlam and Cadishead sit on the Manchester Ship Canal in a strip of Salford that often gets forgotten by national rollouts. Freedom Fibre has built the area out properly, and Olilo's 5Gbps tier is the technical-user option - static IPv4, /48 IPv6, no CGNAT, and symmetric multi-gig with no fair-use clause hiding in the small print.

From Liverpool Road across the canal toward Cadishead, most M44 addresses are now in serviceable scope.
