Gigaclear Bring 5Gbps FTTP Broadband to 10,000 Oxfordshire Properties

Thursday, Mar 17th, 2016 (11:57 am) - Score 2,221

Rural ISP Gigaclear has confirmed that their ultrafast 5Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP/H) broadband network will soon have reached a total of 10,000 homes and businesses in Oxfordshire (England) when their local roll-out completes with the final few communities.

Apparently the only communities left to finish are Warborough & Shillingford and Shipton on Cherwell, including Enslow. So far Gigaclear’s network spans more than 40 villages across Oxfordshire and those within their coverage can now order broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps (1000Mbps), with the option of taking a trial 5Gbps package (details).

The deployment in Oxfordshire has been on-going for the past few years and is an entirely commercial project. The first location to go live was Appleton in 2012, followed by Beckley in 2014 and, most recently, Warborough and Shillingford, which went live this year.

Matthew Hare, Gigaclear’s CEO, said:

“Oxfordshire homes and businesses have dived head first into the information revolution. New ways of working, of doing business, learning, communicating and playing are now available to over 10,000 homes and businesses through the Gigaclear Ultrafast fibre network, where the customer can choose the speed they want and it is as fast to upload a file as it is to download it.

From our first network build in Appleton in 2012 to our most recent in Shillingford, the FTTP technology means our customers have a broadband infrastructure that will not need updating for the foreseeable future. The county’s homes and businesses on the Gigaclear network benefit from a future-proof world-class Internet connection.”

Meanwhile Gigaclear are continuing to roll-out to tens of thousands of premises elsewhere in England and in keeping with that they also have a number of major Broadband Delivery UK projects too, all of which are helping to bring ultrafast speeds to some of the country’s most remote communities. Good work.

So far Gigaclear claims to have delivered its network to a total of over 20,000 properties in Berkshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Kent, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and of course Rutland. They’re now aiming for around 40,000 and beyond.
