Northumberland UK Publish BDUK Superfast Broadband Rollout Map

The Northumberland County Council in England has this week published its first roll-out map for their £18.9m Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) project that aims to make BT’s superfast broadband (25Mbps+) FTTC/P network available to 91% of local premises by early 2016 (95% will be covered by the network but some won’t be “superfast“).

As usual the iNorthumberland project map is fairly vague but it does offer a useful overview of where superfast broadband can be accessed today (dark blue) and where it will go in the future. Unfortunately a vast area, which has been shaded in light blue, is marked as “currently under evaluation” and this means that related locations may or may not get superfast connectivity in the future (though they should receive speeds of at least 2Mbps).
