<li align="center" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 0px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">With people more connected to the internet than ever, record-breaking rap legend, Harry Shotta, today releases his latest track that summarises the internet in 60 seconds</li>
<li align="center" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 0px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In collaboration with London&rsquo;s fastest fibre broadband provider₃, Shotta&rsquo;s track echoes the speed of today&rsquo;s internet, with Community Fibre offering speeds up to 10 Gbps</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
With predictions that internet usage is set to increase to 63 million Brits online in the next 5 years, the UK&rsquo;s fastest record-breaking rapper has today released a brand-new track that packs the history of the internet into a lightning-fast, 60 second rap. 
&nbsp;
The track comes following new research from London&rsquo;s best quality broadband, <a href="mailto:https://communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a>, revealing just how critical the internet has become - with three in five (62%) Brits admitting they wouldn&rsquo;t be able to survive without the internet. 
&nbsp;
To help the UK appreciate just how far the internet has come, Community Fibre - the experts in super-fast fibre broadband speeds - has recruited Harry Shotta, the legendary rapper heralded for his fast rhymes, to give a &lsquo;history lesson&rsquo; on the internet. 
&nbsp;
Known for breaking the Guinness World Record for the number of words in a track, previously held by Eminem, Shotta&rsquo;s new track captures the history of the internet and key moments since its inception, with nods to the good old days of MSN, as well as to current day TikTok trends. 
&nbsp;
As inspiration for the track, the research reveals the generational divide when it comes to digital literacy, with this attitude gap across age groups in the UK now bigger than ever. Uncovering Gen Z&rsquo;s unfamiliarity with some of the technology once synonymous with the internet age, the research found only one in five Gen Zs have used a dial up modem, and just over a third (35%) have used a floppy disc. Old school social media is also unknown to Gen Z, with only 16% having used Bebo, and only a quarter admitting to having used MySpace - compared to nearly half (48%) of Millennials. 
&nbsp;
But while the types of digital technologies and social platforms have evolved over the internet age, the generational divide is less prevalent when it comes to internet usage in general, with the internet now a key part of life for older generations too. 
&nbsp;
Looking at speeds, the internet is now so fast paced that expectations are higher than ever. In fact, for Gen X, some of whom have had the internet for less than half their lives, admit they dislike waiting more than a few seconds for something to buffer online (66%). Surprisingly, they out rank Gen Z (56%) and Millennials (54%), with the younger generations found to be slightly more patient with load times. 
&nbsp;
Discussing his creation of the track, Harry Shotta, said: &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no doubt the internet has come an impressively long way in what really is a short amount of time. From all the things we all now use it for, to how fast it has become, I think we all have moments where we take it for granted. 
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Covering the broad history of the internet in just 60 seconds wasn&rsquo;t a small feat but doing it with Community Fibre has been a blast. As someone who gets a kick out of a speed challenge and trying to get in as many words as possible, it made sense to join forces with London&rsquo;s fastest fibre broadband provider to create something fun.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
With an insight into the evolution of the internet, the research found that the majority of Boomers (71%) and Gen X (75%) first used the internet via a dial modem through a desktop computer. Meanwhile, the experience for digital natives has long been on the go, with two in five (40%) Gen Zs first logging in online via the WiFi on their smartphone. 
&nbsp;
Graeme Oxby, Chief Executive Officer of Community Fibre, commented: &ldquo;As our new research shows, there&rsquo;s no question that the internet is a critical part of our everyday lives. As a nation, we&rsquo;re dependent on the internet for everything from communication with friends and family (88%), to online shopping (50%), to life&rsquo;s personal and business admin tasks (46%).&rdquo;
&nbsp;
He continued: &ldquo;If there&rsquo;s one thing we know at Community Fibre, it&rsquo;s the internet, and we love that this track taps into some of the habits we all share, and in some ways, helps us appreciate our connection that little bit more. Our ambition has long been to offer everyone fast, affordable, quality broadband and we&rsquo;re proud to provide the city&rsquo;s fastest fibre broadband connection to 1.3 million homes in London.&rdquo;&nbsp;

How you can save £648 simply by switching broadband provider

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Backed by the Mayor of London's Connected London Team, Community Fibre is on a mission to provide fast and affordable broadband to all - with more than one million Londoners now able to get access</h3>
London, UK:&nbsp;The Chief Digital Officer for London has welcomed the major milestone from <a href="http://www.communityfibre.co.uk">Community Fibre</a>, as it announces that more than one million Londoners can now access cheaper, faster fibre broadband.
The announcement comes as research found almost three-quarters (71%)* of people surveyed now view broadband as an essential utility, and no longer simply a nice-to-have, with 1 in 10 regularly struggling to access vital services like GP appointments, online banking, and government websites as a result of poor internet connection.
Community Fibre, which is the capital&rsquo;s largest fibre broadband provider and backed by the Greater London Authority, is on a mission to make high-quality broadband easily accessible to Londoners. It offers broadband packages ranging from 150 Mbps to 3 Gbps, (43x faster than the UK average download speed and 163x faster than the UK average upload speed)<a title="" name="_ftnref1" href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>, for a fraction of the price. On average, Londoners could save up to &pound;737 on their broadband bills simply by switching<a title="" name="_ftnref2" href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>.
Community Fibre is also hailed by consumers as the &lsquo;Best Internet Network Provider&rsquo; on Trustpilot, commanding an &lsquo;Excellent&rsquo; 4.8/5 rated service with more than 31,000 5-star reviews (September 2023).
Recognising Community Fibre&rsquo;s commitment to delivering more affordable broadband to Londoners Theo Blackwell, Chief Digital Officer for London, said: &ldquo;It is fantastic that over one million homes in London can now connect to full-fibre broadband, giving people and businesses faster, more reliable and more affordable internet access across the capital. The Mayor's Connected London team and Community Fibre have worked together to bridge the digital divide and improve our city&rsquo;s broadband infrastructure for the future, helping to build a better, fairer and more prosperous London for all.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Graeme Oxby, Chief Executive Officer of Community Fibre, commented: &ldquo;With ongoing pressure on household bills, as well as increasing consumer demand for online access and digital connectivity, we are proud to enable access to faster, cheaper, and more reliable fibre broadband to over one million London properties across the capital.&rdquo;&nbsp;
He continued:&nbsp;&ldquo;As well as advancing our network build to more properties and businesses across the capital, we will continue to challenge the industry with our innovative offerings, such as setting new out-of-contract pricing standards, which we have capped at &pound;2 across all our packages, as well as providing easy access to our social tariff, which remains the only social tariff product on the market today which does not ask consumers to provide proof of eligibility.&rdquo;
In celebration of its announcement that more than one million residential properties can connect to its fibre broadband network, which is the largest across the capital, Community Fibre is giving Londoners the opportunity to win a free 12-month period 1 Gbps fibre connection.

More than 1 million Londoners can now access faster, cheaper fibre broadband from Community Fibre, London's best quality broadband provider

More than 1 million Londoners can now access faster, cheaper fibre broadband from Community Fibre, London;s best quality broadband

More than 1M Londoners can now access faster, cheaper fibre broadband

<a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a>, London&rsquo;s best quality broadband announces today that it is going all-in on leading cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS), migrating its customer services and implementing AWS technology to enhance consumer experiences, as it expands its rapid roll out across London and the South East to reach 2.2 million homes and businesses with its full-fibre, multi-gigabit-capable broadband by the end of 2024.
Community Fibre&rsquo;s mission is to deliver 100% full fibre broadband to all of the London communities it serves, helping to provide residents with opportunities for education, training, employment, social inclusion, and community projects by supplying community spaces across the city with free 1 Gbps fibre connection.
In October 2022, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) announced that it had signed&nbsp;a new finance facility of &pound;985m&nbsp;to support its network expansion, as unlike most providers, Community Fibre builds, operates and owns its dedicated 100% full fibre network with its advanced technology. Therefore, it does not rely on any other provider&rsquo;s cables to deliver fast and reliable 100% full fibre broadband directly into individual properties. Currently, more than 1 million residential properties are able to connect to its fibre broadband services in the London and the South East.&nbsp;
To support its exponential build, Community Fibre is working with AWS in a bid to evolve its critical IT infrastructure services, such as its customer Contact Centre, Marketing outreach, and Network analytics onto AWS, as well as using a number of AWS services to help scale and better serve its growing customer base. The critical move will allow the broadband provider to continue digitalising both technically and financially, as well as engaging new partners using AWS Marketplace, a curated digital catalogue that makes it easy for businesses to discover, procure, entitle, provision, and manage third-party software, data and services.
Community Fibre is enhancing the customer experience by upgrading its existing Contact Centre and migrating it to Amazon Connect, an easy-to-use <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/amazon-connect-glossary.html#omnichannel-def">omnichannel</a>&nbsp;cloud contact centre offering superior, low-cost customer service using machine learning (ML). &nbsp;This enables &nbsp;Community Fibre to create more personalised experiences for customers and manage larger call volumes.&nbsp; The migration was completed in 12-weeks instead of 12-months, allowing the broadband provider to continue to cope with the demands of a customer base that is rapidly growing, whilst reducing the propensity to call rates per customer.&nbsp;This new technology has enabled Community Fibre to grow its digital channels, providing an omni-channel experience and starting to personalise the delivery of customer experiences, as well as helping the ISP to consolidate Box Broadband, which it acquired in 2021, into a single platform.
Community Fibre is also expanding its use of AWS products to include AWS artificial intelligence (AI) and ML services to build new functionalities for its customers, including the launch of several new features including Self Service, Advanced Personalisation Services, Improved Broadband Diagnostics, Robotic Responses, and out of hours chat services.
Chris Williams, Chief Information Officer, Community Fibre, said: &ldquo;Historically, we've held a fantastic relationship with Amazon Web Services across many functions, so we're delighted to now be working with the cloud provider to help scale and grow our business. The use of Amazon Connect will continue to be central to Community Fibre's IT strategy, helping to enhance the digital experiences we provide to our customers and vendors as we grow.&rdquo;
Joe Carroll, General Manager of Digital Native Businesses, EMEA, Amazon Web Services said: &ldquo;We are committed to helping UK businesses to innovate and grow with the cloud. Community Fibre is an example of a digital innovator that is using cloud to transform the market it operates in and compete at scale with a great customer experience. We are excited to work alongside Community Fibre to use cloud to bring new services to market faster, enhance the customer experience, and underpin its expansion.&rdquo;
Other AWS services used to power Community Fibre&rsquo;s critical operations include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for elastic compute, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for cloud object storage, Amazon Aurora for building and managing relational databases, Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring and managing the provision of data and actionable insights, Amazon Kinesis for processing and analysing streaming data at scale, and Amazon GuardDuty for security and threat detection.

<h3>Community Fibre upgrades its social tariff broadband from 20 Mbps to 35 Mbps.</h3>
&nbsp;
Wednesday, 13th September 2023, London UK: <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a>, London&rsquo;s best quality broadband, has upgraded its social tariff broadband, almost doubling in speed from 20 Mbps to 35 Mbps for just &pound;12.50/month.
With same full fibre download and upload speeds, its Essential 35 Mbps social tariff can support multiple connected devices in a home, as well as seamless streaming of Full HD on-demand TV shows.&nbsp;

<h3>What is a social tariff?</h3>
With people worrying about their finances and bills, the UK Government has worked with internet service providers to deliver low-cost broadband and phone packages called social tariffs. According to Ofcom, 4.2 million UK households are eligible to access one<a name="_ftnref1"></a><a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>.
These discounted broadband deals are usually available for people on Universal Credit and other benefits. However, unlike most other providers, Community Fibre does not ask for proof of income support or government benefits &ndash; making it one of the most accessible social broadband tariffs on the market.
At &pound;12.50/month it is also one of the cheapest and is available to residents in London on its network footprint.&nbsp;Its Essentials 35 Mbps package also comes with a Linksys Dual-Band Mesh WiFi 5 router to optimise your WiFi experience<a name="_ftnref2"></a><a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>.
<div></div>
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre said:&nbsp;&ldquo;Getting online is a necessity to lead a normal life in the modern world. If people are priced out of broadband, they won&rsquo;t be able to carry out essential everyday tasks including applying for jobs, paying bills, or booking medical appointments. 
Our Essential tariff is the most accessible social tariff in the country available to anyone, not just those who can prove eligibility. By increasing the speed to 35 Mbps, we ensure more people from the most vulnerable households can benefit from.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Community Fibre, London’s best quality broadband, has upgraded its social tariff broadband, almost doubling in speed from 20 Mbps to 35 Mbps

UK’s most accessible social tariff is now even faster

Community Fibre, London’s best quality broadband, has upgraded its social tariff broadband, almost doubling in speed from 20 Mbps to 35 Mbps for just £12.50/month.

South Park Crescent, once London&rsquo;s slowest street for broadband with an abysmal average download speed of 0.40 Mbps has received a fibre upgrade delivering up to x7,500 faster service, courtesy of Community Fibre &ndash; London&rsquo;s fastest and biggest 100% full fibre broadband provider
<ul>
<li>Olympic legend and British record-runner, Dame Kelly Holes joined excited residents as engineers removed the dependency on slow old copper technology by installing the UK&rsquo;s best quality full fibre broadband</li>
<li>In the digital age, unreliable broadband has been found to have a significant negative impact on quality of life, with three-quarters of Brits confessing they&rsquo;ve experienced WiFi Rage as a result of a poor or slow internet connection</li>
</ul>
London, UK: Gold medallist and legendary athlete, Dame Kelly Holmes, surprised the residents of South Park Crescent in Lewisham this week with a lightning-fast broadband street upgrade, following reports it ranks as London's slowest street for broadband speeds in London, and the 8th slowest in the UK.
Dame Kelly joined Community Fibre&rsquo;s expert engineers to help oversee innovative fibre installations in residents&rsquo; houses, following recent research* by the provider which found the residents of South Park Crescent aren&rsquo;t alone in their broadband miseries, as two-thirds of Brits - amounting to 18.7M households - are dissatisfied with their current broadband provider.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As a result, three-quarters of Brits say they experienced WiFi rage in the past year, triggered by poor and unreliable broadband connections. Further findings show that on average, a third of British houses experience WiFi rage on a weekly basis - amounting to almost 9.8M homes.
South Park Crescent resident Tom Cochrane, who has lived in the street for four years, explains, &rdquo;For too long, our street has suffered from appalling internet speed from the incumbent supplier, which has been so slow it is virtually impossible to do even the most basic tasks online let alone doing streaming, gaming, or working from home.&nbsp;
We were ecstatic to welcome Dame Kelly and the Community Fibre team into our home, to get 100% full fibre broadband installed.&rdquo;
Dame Kelly Holmes, GB athlete and British record-holder, assisted the engineers as the first three homes were connected to Community Fibre, which boasts the fastest fibre broadband speeds in the capital, providing the same upload and download speeds and a network that is up and running over 99.9% of the time.
Dame Kelly comments, &ldquo;As someone who is obsessed with speed, I can only imagine the frustration residents of South Park Crescent have felt over the years with their slow internet connections. After talking to some of the residents who will now be receiving superfast broadband speeds, it&rsquo;s clear that this new connection will have a huge impact on their lives.&rdquo;
With services in the UK becoming increasingly digitised, the installation comes as Community Fibre found that 71% of Brits now view broadband as an essential utility, and no longer as a nice-to-have.
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre, comments, &ldquo;Slow broadband speeds can have a very real, negative impact on people&rsquo;s lives, from the extra money spent on mobile data and the inability to access essential digital services, to being unable to work from home effectively or simply stream your favourite show. I'm so pleased we're able to offer the residents of South Park Crescent the fastest, best quality and best value broadband along with 1 million other homes in London.&rdquo;
