First Fibre Broadband Rollout Areas in East Riding of Yorkshire Confirmed

The £14m Broadband East Riding Project, which aims to make BT’s superfast broadband (24Mbps+) services available to a further 42,734 local premises by December 2015, has announced its first roll-out locations for late April 2014 onwards.

The first phase one areas include more than 13,000 premises in Bubwith, Goole, Hemingbrough Howden, Rawcliffe and Snaith (full announcement). We note how the original announcement (here) predicted that the first communities were expected to be connected during summer 2014.

As usual the vast majority of this deployment will make use of BT’s up to 80Mbps capable FTTC technology and possibly some 330Mbps FTTP. Credits to Thinkbroadband for spotting this update.
