Our Day at Penkridge Market: Talking Broadband with the Local Community

There’s something about Penkridge Market on a Wednesday morning. The mix of regulars, local traders setting up, and the smell of fresh food in the air, it’s properly rooted in the community. So, for us, it felt like the perfect place to spend the day talking to local people about something just as important locally: broadband.

For those who don’t know us, we’re a Ful Fibre broadband provider focused on connecting rural communities across the UK, bringing reliable, high-speed fibre to areas often overlooked by the bigger providers. In places like Penkridge, where full fibre options are still limited, we’re proud to be delivering connectivity where others don’t.

We set up under the Voneus gazebo with Elliott and Sales Agent William ready to chat, answer questions, and, most importantly, listen. Because days like this aren’t just about selling a service, they’re about understanding what people actually need from their connection at home.

 Familiar Faces and Positive Feedback

One of the best parts of the day? Hearing from people already using Voneus.

We had a steady stream of existing customers stopping by to say hello and share how they’re getting on. And the feedback was clear; fast, reliable speeds, strong coverage across the home, and a connection that just works when they need it most.

Whether it’s working from home without interruptions, streaming without buffering, or simply having confidence in their connection day-to-day, that’s what good broadband really means for people.

It’s one thing for us to talk about what we offer, but hearing local customers say it’s making a difference in their homes is what really matters. It’s also why we’re rated Excellent on Trustpilot.

For many, the question wasn’t just “what broadband is available?”  it was “why Voneus?”

And that’s where the difference is clear:

• Full Fibre speeds built for modern households

• Reliable connections designed for rural areas

• A local team you can actually speak to

Why Shopping Local Still Matters

For William, who lives locally himself, being at Penkridge wasn’t just another workday, it was personal:

“This is my local area, so I know how important it is for people to have a broadband service they can rely on, that’s not some large corporation. The big providers can feel quite distant, but being local means we’re here, we understand the area, and we actually get to speak to customers face-to-face. That makes a real difference.”

That’s exactly what Voneus is about. We’re not just turning up, we’re part of the same communities we’re connecting. Whether it’s broadband or your weekly shop, there’s something to be said for keeping things local.
