Brsk has announced it will be building in five villages across West Yorkshire, connecting a further 10,000 properties.
Independent full fibre network, Brsk, has announced build plans to connect 10,000 properties in rural villages across West Yorkshire.
Denholme, Haworth, Crossroads, Wilsden, and Cullingworth, are the villages to benefit from Brsk's up to 2Gbps full fibre broadband network.

In West Yorkshire, Brsk has so far passed over 130,000 properties, with a further 10,000 to be connected in the rural villages of Denholme, Haworth, Crossroads, Wilsden, and Cullingworth.
Residents of Cullingworth have already been connected, and can now order full fibre broadband from Brsk, while those living in Denholme, Haworth, Crossroads, and Wilsden should be connected in the next couple of months by December 2024.
Regional Head, Darryl Nieuwenhuizen said, "We have spent the last 3 years rolling out our full fibre network to a large proportion of the Bradford District and the take up of services has been fantastic.
"We have built a great reputation for ourselves throughout the region, with brsk becoming a household name in the area; we already have over 30% take up in our older cohorts. This success has given us the confidence to extend our network to more rural communities across West Yorkshire and ensure they are not left behind."
In West Yorkshire, Brsk already pass many homes in West Bradford, along with surrounding small towns and villages, including, Brighouse, Elland, Halifax, Bingley, Keighley, Thornton, Queensbury, Northowram, and most recently, Cullingworth.
