Celebrating 15 years of building connections
It’s been 15 years since Wessex Internet started bringing better broadband to rural communities, and what a journey it’s been!
From connecting 14,236 homes to creating 378 local jobs, we’re celebrating the milestones that have made us who we are.
We’ve been looking at the real stories, big numbers, and brilliant people that helped build Wessex. Let’s take a look back… and celebrate together.
Read more about our milestones here.
We couldn’t have done it all without the on-going support from our brilliant customers. We’ve made friends along the way and had many adventures, from connecting Wardour Castle to Larmer Tree Festival, take a look at our case studies here.
From friendships to families, careers to creativity, the internet brings us closer than ever.
