Bath Rugby confirms Truespeed as official broadband and public Wi-Fi provider

Bath Rugby and Bath-based broadband provider, Truespeed Communications have announced a multi-year partnership deal that will enhance fan experience by providing improved Wi-Fi and connectivity at The Rec – the home of the Premiership Rugby club.

With the launch of this partnership, Truespeed and Bath Rugby will offer free ultrafast Wi-Fi to Bath Rugby fans as part of the Fan Village experience at The Rec.  With Bath Rugby’s enhanced full fibre connectivity and the additional Wi-Fi points from Truespeed, Bath Rugby fans can enjoy speeds of up to 300 Mbps in the Fan Village. To deliver this experience, Bath Rugby and Truespeed have upgraded the connectivity to the stadium and installed an additional wireless network in the Fan Village to ensure seamless Wi-Fi.

As part of the deal, Bath Rugby and Truespeed will collaborate on community outreach programmes in the South West. Truespeed’s Community Connections programme already extends to over 150 schools and community institutions and the newly announced partnership between these Bath based institutions aims to extend the scope and impact of the community outreach together.

Tarquin McDonald, Chief Executive at Bath Rugby, said, “We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Truespeed. This partnership is an investment and improvement in our stadium infrastructure to enhance the experience of Bath Rugby fans and visitors at The Rec. This upgrade will introduce Wi-Fi to the Fan Village and ensure that Bath Rugby fans, visitors and vendors benefit from the improved connectivity in the area. It is exciting to collaborate with another Bath-based organisation with high ambitions to improve and inspire the communities we operate in.”

James Lowther, Chief Executive at Truespeed, added, “Truespeed are excited to launch our new multi-year partnership with Bath Rugby. As a company with strong local roots, Truespeed is proud to be upgrading the broadband infrastructure of the South West. This partnership with the much-loved Bath Rugby team extends the power of our ultrafast full fibre network to dramatically improve the Fan Village experience at The Rec.”
