The new broadband provider in town, brsk (pronounced “brisk”), is rolling out a 100% fibre optic network. From streaming, working from home and gaming, to keeping a busy home well-connected, it aims to be fantastic all the way.

"Not only are we delivering some of the fastest speeds in the area, we don’t do mid-contract price hikes. So, unlike the current provider you might be with right now, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting and what you’re paying with brsk. We’re proud to be bringing Rochdale the excellent broadband it deserves.”
With all of brsk’s 24-month BetterNet packages*, the price you see is the price you will pay per month for the full term of your contract.
