Superfast South Yorkshire – 28 Areas Set to Get Ultrafast FTTP Broadband

Monday, Mar 13th, 2017 (1:01 am) - Score 2,105

The Superfast South Yorkshire (SFSY) programme with Openreach (BT) has confirmed that a total of 28 areas are planned to be connected via “ultrafast” Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) technology over the “coming months“, although many of those will be businesses.

At present the project is aiming to make faster “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) services available to 97.9% of the region by the end of 2017 (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) and this is also being supported by a voucher scheme that’s helping to connect local businesses (here). Once completed the project should have extended its coverage to an additional 100,000 premises and they’re already about halfway through this.

As part of that some areas have also been lucky enough to get a 1Gbps capable FTTP connection installed, although a lot of the focus for this has been on reaching the local Enterprise Zone and key strategic business parks across the region. SFSY reports that the first area to benefit is Attercliffe in Sheffield, with premises along Brightside Lane able to access the service.

The project has now confirmed that a total of 28 areas are planned to be reached by FTTP in the coming months and some of these areas will include Capitol Park in Barnsley, Finningley, Kirk Sandall, Sheffield and Capital Park in Thorne. Sadly a full list of the locations has not been provided, although the SFSY’s coverage checker should have been updated to reflect the plan.
