Leicestershire UK Adds Improved Superfast Broadband Coverage Map
The Superfast Leicestershire project in central England, which aims to make BT’s “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) network available to 96% of local homes and businesses by the end of March 2016 (i.e. an extra 62,000 premises), has uploaded a more detailed and interactive coverage map of the planned deployment.
The new map, which can be viewed here, has the functionality to search by postcode and allows visitors to zoom in and out and click individual coloured sectors for more info.. “Whilst the interactive map provides more detailed information than our previous map it is still high-level only. Coverage by suppliers does not fully align to full postcode and it is, therefore, not accurate to premise or postcode level,” said a brief statement from the project.

Apparently the map will be updated every 6-8 weeks as new areas go live. It’s still not as good as some, but the improvement is welcome.
