TalkTalk Extend FTTP Broadband to Bournemouth and Doncaster
Budget UK ISP TalkTalk has this week confirmed that their new CityFibre and Openreach based ‘Future Fibre‘ packages, which offer average top speeds of up to 506Mbps via Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) technology, have now become available to homes in both Bournemouth (Dorset) and Doncaster (South Yorkshire).
Until today TalkTalk’s FTTP packages on CityFibre’s network – currently covering 650,000 UK premises – were only available to customers in Aberdeen, Bolton, Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Adur and Worthing, Ipswich, Inverness and Coventry. Hopefully by the end of this year they’ll also be available across all of CF’s deployment cities and towns (i.e. those with a live service).
The same packages are also available via Openreach’s rival FTTP network, which is currently available to 4.6 million UK premises. Prices tend to start at £32 per month for 150Mbps (symmetric via CF) on an 18-month term (plus £4.95 postage) or £40 per month for 500Mbps (the pricing between Openreach and CF is currently aligned), although you’ll get slower upload speeds on the Openreach side.

Wonder if this is why I saw CityFibre work with the reference Doncaster FTTP in Wakefield.
Confusing given CF removed Wakefield from their plans a while back.
