Essex UK Publish BDUK Superfast Broadband Deployment Map

The £25 Million Superfast Essex project, which aims to make BT’s “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) network available to “around” 87% of premises by the end of summer 2016, has today become the next to publish an indicative map of its Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) rollout.

Admittedly Essex’s BDUK Project has already shown a rough Map of its Intervention Area but the new one is a lot more descriptive and provides a better overall view of the expected rollout, although much like all the rest it still suffers from a lack of detail.

Areas outlined in Dark Orange are set to start benefitting from superfast broadband (25Mbps+) in 2014, while those with a Light Orange will see the service arrive in 2015 and Yellow areas from 2016. Meanwhile areas marked with Light Green can expect standard broadband speeds of between 2Mbps and up to 24Mbps. The existing commercial rollout shows as Purple.

The Essex Chronicle has published a HIGH RES copy of the map, which isn’t yet available via the projects website.
