Broadband ISP Gigaclear Add Buckden and Kimbolton to Cambridgeshire Rollout

Rural UK ISP Gigaclear has confirmed that the villages of Buckden and Kimbolton have just been added to their ongoing £39m effort to deploy a gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network across Cambridgeshire in England, which adds to the recent additions of Warboys, Sawtry, Ramsey and Stilton (here).

During the engineering work, Gigaclear will be utilising existing Openreach ducts and poles wherever possible in order to minimise disruption. The work in Buckden and Kimbolton, which will run fibre via some of Openreach’s existing cable ducts and poles, is scheduled to be completed by spring 2024.

Gigaclear Delivery Director, Tony Smith, said: “Work about to start in Buckden and Kimbolton, as well as elsewhere in the county, demonstrates Gigaclear’s commitment to deliver fast and reliable broadband to rural communities in Cambridgeshire, many of whom would otherwise struggle to access ultrafast speeds.”

Residential customers of the service can currently expect to pay from £17 a month (£40 after 18-months) for a symmetric 200Mbps broadband package on an 18-month term and this rises to £49 (£79 after 18-months) for their top 830Mbps plan. All packages include a wireless router and free installation.
