Drone Show at Tamworth Castle Marks the Broadband Evolution

Brett Shepherd, CEO of LightSpeed, reflected on the significance of the occasion:

““It is great that we are the first altnet company to bring substantial volumes of full fibre broadband to homes and businesses in Tamworth. Hosting the drone show was a fitting tribute to mark this occasion and a quarter-century of progress in the digital world, all while paying homage to a landmark that has stood the test of time.”

“When Broadband launched to consumers, it was life changing that we could now simultaneously use the internet and make phone calls through a single line. Looking at the last 25 years, it is incredible how far we’ve come. Broadband has transformed every aspect of our lives, forever changing how we live, work, connect, play and relax. This is just the beginning – broadband continues to evolve and shape the future in ways we never thought possible.

“LightSpeed is excited about the future - with faster full fibre speeds and greater bandwidth requirements on the horizon, we’re opening up endless possibilities for smarter homes, increased productivity, and more immersive digital experiences.”
