South West broadband provider Jurassic Fibre has said he cost of living crisis has highlighted a “huge regional divide”, with firms and residents in the region “particularly hit”.
The Exeter-based internet service company, which has connected 75,000 premises across Devon, Somerset and Dorset, has pledged to halve the price of its ultrafast broadband packages to help communities facing “significant hikes” in utility bills.
The move comes after energy regulator Ofgem hiked the energy price cap by 54% to a record £1,971 for a typical home in April, in response to a huge rise in wholesale prices.
