Newton and Stape (NANDS) are two adjoining parishes in deeply rural North Yorkshire where conventional broadband is patchy at best and non-existent for the majority of the 140+ homes and businesses present.

The NextGenUs NANDS project is the first of its kind in North Yorkshire and it is hoped that NANDS can be replicated to enable other local rural communities in the county of North Yorkshire and nationally to likewise benefit from super-fast symmetric connectivity.

It is positively heart-warming to see the kind of FibreStream-led NextGenUs grassroots JFDI initiatives that are deliberately aimed at where the need is most, the 15%-20% of the population of the UK  who are are in Notspots and Crapspots for broadband today, get recognition and visibility by the BBC.

The pace of Community Centric FttH realisation is quickening, and about time too :)
