Reaching the most rural

Having super-fast broadband has opened our eyes to new ways of promoting ourselves to customers Rhiannon Fraser, Park Manager

“ ” •  A family-owned holiday and retirement park in rural Perranarworthal, Cornwall •  Experiencing broadband speeds fifty times faster than previous connection •  Used to drive company accounts to the accountants in Falmouth, now they are

emailed almost instantaneously •  Installing CCTV cameras over the fast, stable Wi-Fi connection. Before super-

fast the only option was the expensive alternative of digging trenches to fit hard-wired cameras

•  Using their new high-speed wi-fi zone to attract new customers to the site
