5Gbps Freedom Fibre in Urmston

Urmston has long been a Trafford suburb where fibre uptake outran the actual underlying tech - fast on paper, asymmetric in practice. Freedom Fibre's XGS-PON build flips that, and Olilo's 5Gbps tier delivers the symmetric upload speeds that anyone hosting at home, running CI, or pushing big media files has been crying out for.

Coverage runs from Flixton through Davyhulme, including the streets backing onto Urmston Meadows.
