Rural ISP County Broadband, which is working to cover 500,000 premises across the East of England with their new 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network by the end of 2027, has today added another 5 villages in South Cambridgeshire to their ongoing network expansion (bringing the total in the county to 18 villages).

The provider, which is being supported by £146 million of funding from Aviva Investors (here), is currently deploying full fibre across rural parts of Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk in England (i.e. they’re building to over 220 villages and rising).

NOTE: Aviva also backs Truespeed (here) and ITS Technology (here) etc.

The five villages, comprising approximately 2,000 premises, are Abington Pigotts, Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth, Litlington, Longstowe, and Toft. Each of these villages has already started to go live, and they’re in addition to the provider’s existing locations in the county, including: Barrington, Fowlmere, Great Eversden, Harston, Haslingfield, Kingston, Little Eversden, Meldreth, Newton, Orwell, Shepreth, Thriplow, and Whaddon.

County Broadband is working alongside civil engineering contractor NGE to help deliver its full-fibre rollout in South Cambridgeshire.

James Salmon, Director of Sales and New Territories at County Broadband, said:

“We are excited to welcome more rural communities to our expanding full-fibre network across Cambridgeshire as we continue our mission to digitally future-proof the East of England with full-fibre infrastructure.

Cambridgeshire is a thriving county but needs world-class digital connectivity to boost economic growth and attract investment – and rural and hard-to-reach communities cannot be left behind.

That’s why we’ve been working hard since we started this ambitious project, collaborating with local residents, businesses, leaders and stakeholders to find innovative solutions and overcome the unavoidable challenges and complexities to deliver full-fibre broadband infrastructure in rural areas.

Thousands of families, remote workers and individuals, plus many local businesses, community venues and public buildings, are now benefitting from the gigabit speeds and superior reliability that only full-fibre broadband can provide – and for many generations to come.

However, we’re not going to rest on our laurels, and we look forward to accelerating our rollout plans across rural Cambridgeshire over the coming months and years.”

Prices for their service may vary between areas, but in most cases new customers will typically pay from £33.99 per month (excluding discounts) for an unlimited symmetric speed 100Mbps service with a bundled wireless router and a £25 one-off action charge on a 24-month term, which rises to £69.99 for 900Mbps. Not the cheapest, but some of that is a reflecting the rural nature of their build.
