Phase 4 Areas Named for Pembrokeshire FTTP Broadband Rollout
The Pembrokeshire County Council’s (PCC) wider Digital Connectivity Programme (DCP) in Wales appears to have identified the next set of six rural communities (Phase 4 or 5) for their programme, which are likely to benefit from the rollout of gigabit-capable full fibre broadband ISP networks.
So far most of the contracts for the first Phase 1-3 villages have been scooped up by either Broadway Partners or Voneus (here), although other operators (e.g. Openreach) have bid on some of the same areas. All of those seem set to benefit from a deployment of Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) technology.
The Western Telegraph has now named the next set of locations to benefit, which we assume will be tackled as part of Phase 4: Eglwyswrw, Brynberian, Felindre Farchog, Crosswell, Cilgwyn and Ffordd Bedd Morris. Assuming all goes to plan then all of these builds should be finished by 2023 or well before then.

Well done Pembrokeshire County Council!
Ceredigion CC could learn a thing or two regards the rollout of FTTP from its neighbour, Pembrokeshire CC.
What an organised well structured approach they have taken towards FTTP for the whole of Pembrokeshire.
Can Openreach explain why when they run fibre to a junction box outside your property they will not connect it to you. I am 20mts from the box yet Openreach want £4500 to connect me.
