As usual the new network will be focused upon delivering Gigabit broadband services to local businesses and the public sector, but not homes as that would require significantly more investment and support from major ISPs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Rob Hamlin, Commercial Director at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re delighted to be expanding our partnership with Exa Networks to offer world-class digital infrastructure to Sheffield, Doncaster and Rotherham. Organisations large and small now require reliable, fast, low latency internet services to compete and succeed in an ever changing digital world.<\/p>\n<p>We are opening up a new world class digital infrastructure in the region, which will provide internet services like never seen before. We look forward to our market launch and to connecting the first customers soon.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mark Cowgill, Co-Founder of Exa Networks, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By using CityFibre\u2019s pure fibre infrastructure we are able to offer customers in the Sheffield City Region a world class connectivity service. Having worked with CityFibre across the Leeds and Bradford network, we\u2019re really looking forward to expanding our service offering across Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p>As a UK leader in providing internet services to the education sector, we understand the crucial importance of ultra-fast connectivity in our schools as well as our businesses and anticipate a huge demand for increased bandwidth in both the education and business communities of Sheffield.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Elsewhere Cityfibre claims that Sheffield&#8217;s business community is being hampered because local firms &#8220;<em>struggle with slow speeds of only 18.36Mbps on average<\/em>&#8221; (stats taken from the &#8216;Fix Britain\u2019s Internet Campaign&#8217;). However this is a little misleading because, A) average speedtests do not reflect the availability of faster connectivity and, B) the result was dominated by residential properties and yet Cityfibre&#8217;s network is only being aimed at business premises.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the premises in the above cities are already covered by a mix of Leased Lines, ultrafast cable (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/docsis\">DOCSIS<\/a>) from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> and of course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s) slower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> broadband network, although there&#8217;s clearly still a lot of room for improvement; especially in big parts of Sheffield and northern Doncaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fibre optic network developer Cityfibre has today confirmed that the South Yorkshire (England) cities and towns of Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster will be the next to benefit from their 1Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) style network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[472,418,52,56,441],"class_list":["post-12660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-business","tag-cityfibre","tag-fibre-optic","tag-fttp","tag-yorkshire"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
