Gigaclear, the full fibre broadband provider dedicated to rural Britain, has been named Best Rural Fibre Provider at the 2025 UK Fibre Awards, announced at a ceremony in London on 5th June.
This prestigious award recognises excellence in the design and delivery of rural full fibre projects, honouring providers that have driven meaningful digital transformation in the UK’s hardest-to-reach areas. Gigaclear earned the accolade for its exceptional work bringing gigabit-capable broadband to some of the country’s most remote and underserved communities.
With a network that now covers 600,000 premises, a growing customer base of 150,000, and a penetration rate of 25%, Gigaclear is the UK’s largest rural-focused alt-net provider. Over the past year alone, the company connected over 100,000 new premises and has network spanning 26 counties.
Nathan Rundle, CEO at Gigaclear, said: “Winning Best Rural Fibre Provider is a proud moment for everyone at Gigaclear.
“This award is a recognition of the hard work our teams put in every day to bring world-class connectivity to the hardest-to-reach communities. We are proud to be playing our part in bridging the digital divide and helping to transform connectivity in rural areas of the country and we’d like to thank our hardworking teams and our fantastic customers.”
Gigaclear’s commitment goes beyond connectivity. The company ran numerous community engagement events last year, supports grassroots initiatives through its £100,000 Rural Sports Club Fund, and provides free broadband to 24 Community Hubs, ensuring rural communities benefit both digitally and socially.
This recognition by the UK Fibre Awards as Best Rural Fibre Provider is testament to Gigaclear’s tireless commitment to Britain’s rural communities and narrowing the digital divide, one connection at a time.
