Gloucestershire and Herefordshire UK Reveal Next FTTC Broadband Areas
Friday, Mar 7th, 2014 (1:38 pm) - Score 605
The £56.6 million Fastershire project (best name ever), which aims to make BT’s “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) network available to around 90% of homes and businesses in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire by the end of 2016 (148,000 premises), has confirmed the next batch of locations for its roll-out.
The first upgrades were unveiled in July last year (here) and since then BTOpenreach’s engineers have been busy installing more than 165km of fibre optic cable, not to mention moving more than 250 tonnes of earth and pouring around 115 tonnes of concrete. But this next phase will focus on the spring 2014 period.
