ISP Lit Fibre UK Goes Live with Full Fibre Broadband in Sudbury

UK ISP Lit Fibre, which is deploying a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to reach 500,000 homes by 2026, has today started to go live with its first residents in the town of Sudbury, Suffolk. The move comes just over three months after the operator started building.

The first areas to go live are in the Meadows Lane and Edgworth Road areas, as well as the Belle Vue Road to Newton Croft areas, with many more to follow. But they’re not the only gigabit-capable players in town, with County Broadband (here) and Openreach also targeting Sudbury for their rival FTTP deployments.

Homes on their full fibre network currently pay from £23 per month on a 12-month term (£30 thereafter) for their unlimited 100Mbps package (includes a free install, symmetric speeds and a Wi-Fi 6 router), which rises to £39 (£65 thereafter) for 900Mbps (average).

Tom Williams, CEO of Lit Fibre, said:

“Residents of Sudbury have been promised full fibre for too long now, without any progress, and we’re pleased to announce our first group of homes can now upgrade their service to full fibre. Focused on a professional rollout, we’ve aimed to minimise disruption to the local community while ensuring as many homes can benefit from gigabit speeds as possible.”

The operator is also building across similar towns in other parts of England – including Corsham and Chippenham (Wiltshire), as well as Cirencester (Gloucestershire), Bishop’s Stortford (Hertfordshire) and Evesham (Worcestershire). Not to mention Frinton-on-Sea and Clacton-on-Sea (Essex) etc.
