Better Broadband for Oxfordshire Project Names Next BT Fibre Upgrades

The £25m Better Broadband for Oxfordshire project, which aims to extend BT’s superfast broadband access (25Mbps+) to 90% of Oxfordshire in England by the end of 2015, has revealed the next batch of locations to benefit from the upgrade.

The update, which was first spotted in a Newsletter by Thinkbroadband, is a bit on the vague side but states that Chipping Norton, Carterton, Wallingford, Witney, Kidlington and Summertown all look set to benefit (note: this includes some infill of existing FTTC enabled areas).

However the first street cabinet to be enabled by the scheme actually went live in Ewelme last year, although the next batch of upgrades above will start in Alvescot on 21st February 2014. Overall the project aims to help more than 64,000 homes and businesses to receive faster connectivity.
