The potential new supplier (besides Open Reach/BT) County Broadband, seems to have gone rather quiet, according to some parishioners, after their big push to sign up interested parishioners nearly 2 years ago. We know that there are some works planned for tree clearing/pruning on some of our roads – but there is some doubt about whether these will actually happen.

In the meantime, Gigaclear have contacted the Parish Council to introduce themselves and discuss the broadband service they may offer in village. Two Parish Councillors have met a representative and have provided a short note:

We held an interesting session with Andrew Lipski from a broadband provider called Gigaclear. They are looking to build an extensive full fibre broadband network across South Norfolk, and Wreningham is one of the villages included in their plans.

Gigaclear is currently undertaking their preliminary design stage of the network, and we should hear more from Gigaclear in 2024. A summary of their build process is outlined on their website:
