Fastershire Details Rollout Coverage for 1Gbps FTTP in Gloucestershire

Monday, Aug 24th, 2015 (2:31 pm) - Score 1,167

The Fastershire project has today published a raw roll-out plan for the recently signed £10m deal with fibre optic ISP Gigaclear, which will ensure that 6,495 additional rural premises in Gloucestershire are able to receive “ultra fast” Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based broadband connectivity.

The contract, which was signed in June 2015 (here) and remains one of the precious few Broadband Delivery UK based projects in England to be agreed with an operator other than BT, is funded by £3 million of public investment and a further £7 million of private investment from Gigaclear.

As part of the original announcement it was stated that the funding would focus on communities in the Cotswolds, such as Guiting Power, Chedworth, Whelford, Bibury and Icomb. But not everybody was happy with the contract and one local councillor, Paul Hodgkinson (Liberal Democrat), feared that spending such a huge amount to deploy FTTP might mean that “quite a lot of people will still miss out“.

At the time Hodgkinson also called for a “detailed list of the 6,000 properties which are included in this scheme” and it seems as if Fastershire has now complied by publishing a “full list of included premises“, albeit in a very raw Microsoft Excel format. Apparently a more integrated version of the data will follow, but in the meantime you can Download the MS Excel File (XLSX).

Fastershire also states the following, “If your postcode is included but your property is not on the list, or if your neighbours are included but you aren’t, then we’d like to hear from you. Please contact info@fastershire.com and provide your full address details.” Sadly the actual timescale for the deployment is still a bit unclear, although it should be completed by the end of 2017.
