REVVED UP
TRUESPEED – KEEPING HOMES AND
BUSINESSES CONNECTED
The Keynsham-based broadband provider has been doing its
bit in 2019 to ensure homes and businesses stay connected.
Truespeed delivers full fibre broadband
to hard to reach homes and businesses
by building a brand-new infrastructure.
The firm delivers guaranteed speeds from
200Mbps and has the ability to deliver 10
gigabit-capable full fibre broadband directly
into premises, providing a high-performance,
highly reliable connection and future-proofed
connectivity.
This summer the company won the
Best Rural ISP 2019 award from the
Internet Service Provider Association and
has continued to connect rural Somerset
businesses throughout the year thanks to
its ultrafast broadband network.
Truespeed’s business clients include,
Thatchers Cider, local charity Send a Cow,
Mendip Activity Centre, Acacia Cottages,
Newton Farm Foods and the Pony &
Trap gastropub in Chew Magna. Duncan
Brown from Acacia Cottages said, “As a
business in the Chew Valley we wondered
when we would ever get a fast and
reliable broadband service. Working with
Truespeed has been great. Installation
was simple and as the connection is
ultrafast for both downloading and
uploading, we are now able to use
previously unavailable technologies and
online tools. Switching from landlines
to a VOIP phone system has also been
fantastic – saving us more than £100 a
month.”
Evan Wienburg, CEO at Truespeed
added, “Our mission at TrueSpeed is
to serve neglected local communities
that have been battling for years with
inadequate connectivity. We’re thrilled that
these fantastic rural businesses and their
customers now have all the broadband
bandwidth they need at their fingertips.
We will continue to build out our network

in 2020, so that more businesses can get

Founded in 2015, Truespeed has quickly
grown from a team of 12, to over 100
employees with a further recruitment
drive planned for 2020. In 2017 the
company secured a £75 million investment
from Aviva Investors, the global asset
management business of Aviva, to support
the rollout of its network.
