Today&#8217;s announcement reflects a second Phase 2 signing, albeit with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 1 of the original project enabled 83% of premises (35,000) in Herefordshire, and 82% in Gloucestershire, to gain access to speeds of 30Mbps+. By comparison the Phase 2 project is expected to increase coverage in Herefordshire to 95% (97% in Gloucestershire) through various contracts with both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the Herefordshire side of this deal will extend to a further 2,200 premises, while the rest will go to Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Councillor David Harlow, Herefordshire Cabinet Member for Economy, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are striving to enable as many properties in Herefordshire to access faster broadband. By working with BT in Hereford, Fastershire will ensure that more homes and businesses will be able to benefit from superfast speeds.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Steve Haines, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s MD of NGA, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This major expansion of the Fastershire programme means more great news for people living and working in Hereford and we\u2019re delighted to be playing such a key role.<\/p>\n<p>Just two years ago, Britons used less than half the data they do now on their home broadband and this pace shows no signs of slowing. Consumers are doing more and more online and at the same time, from streaming high definition movies and TV, gaming, online shopping to using mobile devises over wireless broadband.<\/p>\n<p>Every day the number of services delivered to us online, whether designed to entertain, educate or meet our daily needs, is growing. Content and applications will only get more sophisticated making high speed broadband vital for doing all your essential tasks online, so I hope that communities take full advantage of the technology as it arrives.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We should point out that the funding split for the new contract is a little confusing. The council says the &#8220;<em>\u00a35.1 million deal<\/em>&#8221; includes around \u00a3908,000 from Gloucestershire County Council, Herefordshire Council and the Government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> (BDUK) programme, plus just over \u00a35 million from BT (we may make that nearly \u00a36m *shrug*).<\/p>\n<p>We do at least know for sure that the Herefordshire side of this is funded by \u00a3218,000 from the council and \u00a3668,000 from BT, although it would be nice if such projects could publish figures that actually made sense.<\/p>\n<p>Between both counties the Fastershire programme has so far reached an additional 96,516 premises, including upgrades at 99 exchanges, 702Kms of new fibre optic cable and the installation of 407 new street cabinets. The project claims that it will help to boost the local economy by \u00a3420m over the next ten years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 16th Feb 2018 @ 2:53pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Updated the article to include Gloucestershire&#8217;s side of the contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Openreach today confirmed they will deploy their &#8220;superfast fibre broadband&#8221; (FTTC\/P) network to cover a further 7,200 homes and businesses in the UK counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire (completion by the end of 2019), which comes after BT signed a new \u00a35.1m contract under the Fastershire project.<\/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":[471,56,416,451,445],"class_list":["post-15511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bduk","tag-fttp","tag-gigaclear","tag-gloucestershire","tag-herefordshire"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
