Blandford-based internet provider Wessex Internet, is doubling its data to customers on limited data tariffs for free during lockdown 2021.

Thousands of residents, schools and businesses across Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire are being given a helping hand during the third lockdown with double data availability, free of charge in January and February.

Hector Gibson Fleming, managing director at Wessex Internet said: “This is a tough time of year for everybody, and due to the increasing number of people working from home, children who are home schooling, people who are shielding and businesses that are operating under difficult conditions it is anticipated that more data will be used during this period. We want to take the pressure off and – and give something back.”

The company, which provided the same offer during last year’s lockdown and is contacting its existing customers on limited data tariffs individually to inform them of the good news. Wessex is an independent ISP that uses its proprietary fibre network to deliver ultrafast broadband to Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and beyond.

Wessex delivers community fibre schemes designed for villages, hamlets and areaswhere traditional copper cables perform poorly and where the upgrade from copper to fibre was deemed uncommercial by the rest of the telecoms industry. The network consists of more than 150 wireless masts and over 1,500km of fibre delivering ultrafast fibre and wireless coverage to more than 3,500 customers.
