East Sussex UK Name Phase 2 BDUK and BT Fibre Broadband Rollout Areas

The state aid supported £35.44 million e-Sussex project, which will make superfast broadband (25Mbps+) speeds available to 96% of East Sussex premises in England by mid-2016 (note: 99% will be covered by BT’s new FTTC/P network but some won’t be “superfast“), has revealed the next communities to benefit from its upgrade work.

The first customers aren’t even expected to be connected under Phase 1 of the new network development until late Spring or early Summer 2014 (announced last October 2013) and yet the expected reach of Phase 2, following another round of “high level planning“, has already been announced.

It’s understood that Openreach will begin the Phase 2 engineer surveying work in February 2014 and then the physical roll-out should follow some 6-9 months after that (i.e. around autumn 2014). A useful January 2014 Rollout Table (PDF) can be found at the link that contains a lot more detail.
