New Map and Website for Leicestershire’s BDUK and BT Broadband Rollout

The £18.6 million Superfast Leicestershire project in central England, which aims to make BT’s “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) network available to 96% of local premises by March 2016, has released an updated and zoom capable coverage map alongside the launch of their new website.

A high detail copy of the new map can be downloaded directly HERE and the main change appears to be some refinement of the previously anticipated coverage areas and a lot more detail about which areas are expected to benefit during the summer 2015 roll-out phase.

The first premises will go live in summer 2014 and once complete some 54,000 additional homes and businesses should have gained access to superfast broadband speeds of greater than 24Mbps. Further investment is planned by the Government’s Broadband Delivery UK scheme (indicative £4.04m) and possibly the County Council for the areas due to be addressed by 2018 (shaded light yellow on the map).

Thanks to one of our readers, Max, for the update.
