In addition, local take-up has improved considerably from 19% some 18 months ago (37% today).<\/p>\n<p>However it&#8217;s worth pointing out that they did originally aim to achieve this goal by the end of March 2016 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/05\/east-sussex-uk-sign-gbp35-44m-bduk-contract-for-bt-superfast-broadband.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/07\/east-sussex-uk-signs-extended-fibre-broadband-rollout-contract.html\">here<\/a>), which means that the East Sussex deployment is running behind schedule and we also have some doubts about whether or not they&#8217;ve managed to achieve the 96% coverage target for &#8220;<em>superfast<\/em>&#8221; speeds. NOTE: The &#8220;<em>fibre<\/em>&#8221; language used in today&#8217;s PR spin will only confuse matters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Rupert Simmons, East Sussex Councillor for the Economy, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a result of the Council\u2019s pro-active positive ambitions for the County, by the end of 2017 we expect that some 95 per cent of homes and business will have access to faster, more reliable fibre broadband. This couldn\u2019t have been achieved without the Council having had such a high ambition for the County and committing funding to the project along with the Government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> (BDUK) programme and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not stopping there; Cabinet has approved a further phase of the project which is now being developed.I\u2019m delighted that our communities are taking advantage of the new fibre connectivity now available to them, and have no doubt that take up of services will continue to grow.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We believe that the 95% figure highlighted above is actually reflective of &#8220;<em>superfast<\/em>&#8221; speeds because the raw fibre footprint already sits just shy of being universal. Otherwise, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s own commercial fibre roll-out is included, it means that the high-speed technology is now available to more than 380,000 premises in the county.<\/p>\n<p>As Rupert alludes above, a second <strong>Superfast Extension Programme<\/strong> (SEP) contract was actually agreed all the way back in 2015 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/07\/east-sussex-uk-signs-extended-fibre-broadband-rollout-contract.html\">here<\/a>). At the time we were informed that this will benefit at least 5,000 extra premises and is worth just over \u00a34 million, with half of that coming from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a>, plus \u00a32m from the East Sussex County Council and just \u00a3200K from BT. A further \u00a32m of funding is also being considered as part of a future Phase 3 contract (seemingly related to clawback).<\/p>\n<p>The latest roll-out update for Phase 2 can be found online (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goesussex.co.uk\/media\/1255\/c2-rollout-table-1032017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).
