Wh Cambois and Sleekburn Community Fibre Project Update FACTCO is the organisation behind a new Cambois and Sleekburn Full Fibre network They are building under the Gigabit Broadband Scheme, working in partnership with i-northumberland. FACTCO aim to connect as many people as possible in 2021 to the network. However, the scheme is due to end in March so we must ensure everyone has accepted their voucher as part of the community’s broadband pledge. The reason for this is that even though the network will be built a connection charge thereafter would apply. Currently, the DCMS will cover the £1500 per residential property and £3500 for a business.
