📰 Hyperoptic joins Broadband Stakeholder Group 📰 We're delighted to be joining the Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG), the UK government’s leading advisory group on broadband. By joining the telecoms industry’s key forum for discussing developing digital connectivity policy, Hyperoptic will take a more active industry role in alleviating the barriers that exist to enable the government vision of Gigabit Britain. James Fredrickson, Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Hyperoptic 💬 “Some of the biggest barriers facing the acceleration of full fibre rollout are ultimately the product of an interconnected patchwork of different policy areas; be that land access, supply chain logistics or labour market access.” Stephanie Liston, Chair, Broadband Stakeholder Group 💬 “We're delighted that Hyperoptic have joined the BSG. Due to our unique role as the advisory group to UK Government on broadband, it is essential that we fully represent the industry and its priorities. We are very pleased to welcome Hyperoptic, at what is an important time not just for the sector, but also for our
💷 📈 ❌ Standing up to Price Hikes ❌ 📈 💷 James Fredrickson, Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Hyperoptic 💬 "The UK's major broadband providers are increasing their prices, mid-contract, and significantly above inflation, in some cases up to 10% of the current contract. We think that's grossly unfair! When we look at the cost of living crisis that we're in at the moment, an increase significantly above the rate of inflation is extremely hard to justify, and that's why we're launching this campaign."

Today we’ve revealed the full scale of the recent broadband price hikes, with the unveiling of our bus-sized bill for over £887 million in Southwark, London 😱 We don’t think it’s fair that the likes of BT, Virgin Media, Sky, and TalkTalk (to name a few) are set to enjoy such financial gains, at the expense of consumers' wallets, so we’re taking a stand. They don’t do this because they need to. They do it because they can 🤬 Charles Davies, Managing Director, ISP 💬 “We are calling upon Ofcom to use its current powers to investigate whether these price rises are fair, and allow people to switch mid-contract, penalty free, where price rises are above inflation.” For more on how you can join the petition 👇 https://lnkd.in/dJV5jzQA

People and community mean a lot to us! 👨👩👧 We’re proudly sponsoring Didsbury Toc H, an U9s rugby team set up and managed by our very own John Day, Area Delivery Manager, Retro Delivery, Hyperoptic. When John first came to us with the proposal to sponsor his grassroots rugby project, it was an obvious choice for us to accept. Here's how our sponsorship has helped John's team out: 💬 “Hyperoptic’s generosity supported Didsbury Toc H Rugby Club to acquire fully branded kit for all 40 of our U9’s team, which was not only greatly received by the club but all parents. As you can imagine, the shirts are another expense for families to cover on top of other inflating living costs. The sponsorship has also allowed for the club to arrange exciting days out, such as visiting Sale Sharks and playing in front of a packed out crowd at half time. This gave the kids a unique match-day experience, as well as a fun day out for all involved.” We’ll continue to be the proud shirt sponsors for the remainder of the 2021/2022 season and wish the team the best of luck! #community #people #project

🙅♀️ #BreakTheBias 🙅♀️ Today marks #InternationalWomensDay, a global celebration of women's achievements and an opportunity to raise awareness about women's equality. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions — all day, every day — but bias, whether deliberate or unconscious, makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn’t enough though. Action is needed to level the playing field. Together, we can all break the bias — on International Women's Day and beyond 🙌🏻 Will you help #BreakTheBias?
