The UK government has posted a Project Gigabit modification for
Openreach’s £61.3m (public subsidy) contract to extend the reach of their full fibre (
FTTP) based gigabit broadband network across Essex and North East England. This increases the value by £610,393 to £61.92m and will now reach an additional 269 premises in remote rural areas (total target now 24,707 premises).
