The marketplace

The South Yorkshire region

If you are considering becoming an ISP on the Digital Region network, you will have access to the only region in the UK where superfast broadband is available to 80% of the  population, with a further 17% planned in the second phase of the network build.

South Yorkshire is home to tens of thousands of businesses and well over a million residents. As the digital revolution continues at an ever faster pace, more and more of these potential customers will need access to superfast broadband.

Market potential

The Digital Region network covers the city, towns and villages of:

  • Sheffield
  • Barnsley
  • Doncaster
  • Rotherham

The market potential is sizable and the network serves a total population of 1.3 million citizens, 546,000 homes and 40,000 businesses.

There are a wide range of business sectors prospering in South Yorkshire. The addition of superfast broadband and potential for much improved digital communications, make it highly likely that even more businesses will consider the region as a base.
