Why am I still seeing Hyperoptic engineers on the streets?

On Friday 20th March, the UK government granted ‘Key Worker’ status to the utilities and communications sector, including data infrastructure and telecommunication services, which covers many Hyperoptic employees.

The government has recognised that work to repair and maintain the country’s telecommunications network must be allowed to continue at the current time. Gatherings of more than two people are permitted where this is essential for work purposes. For more info, click here. 

This means that Hyperoptic engineers are still carrying out their vital role in keeping Britain connected. 

We’re reprioritising the work they do so that vulnerable customers, existing customers and then new customers have access to full fibre connectivity.
