It’s been almost five months since Cityfibre completed the roll-out of a new 90km long Peterborough CORE fibre optic (FTTP) broadband network in the city of Peterborough (East England) and now an additional extension to reach hundreds of businesses in Orton Southgate has just finished.
The original deployment, which put the network within reach of 4,000+ businesses (80% of the city’s firms) and 107 public sector organisations, completed in March (here). A few months later it was announced that the fibre would be extended to businesses in Orton Southgate, where more than 100 such firms had registered an interest in receiving the service.
The good news is that this extension has now technically completed and the first businesses are therefore due to go live next week. Local firms can also take advantage of the Government’s Connect Vouchers scheme, which offers grants worth up to £3,000 to help them get a superfast broadband connection installed.
