A new report reveals that an investment of <strong>\u00a31.9m<\/strong> by the council could enable a 5km extension, which would put the network within reach of the town\u2019s key employment sites and planned new residential areas. But it would also do much more than that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The picture above shows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a>&#8217;s current Dark Fibre roll-out plan for Lowestoft.<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/eastsuffolk.cmis.uk.com\/eastsuffolk\/Decisions\/tabid\/67\/ctl\/ViewCMIS_DecisionDetails\/mid\/391\/Id\/4c706be6-9363-47d3-a601-37549486646a\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Council Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>CityFibre advised that this proposed extension reached the \u2018trigger point\u2019 for them to make a further substantial investment of up to \u00a320m [estimated cost of \u00a315m to \u00a320m] in the network so that all premises, business and residential, in Lowestoft would be able to access full fibre.<\/p>\n<p>CityFibre are willing to make such an investment as they can achieve a good return on their investment through the sale of wholesale access to the network to any Internet Service Provider (ISP) once any current exclusivity arrangements expire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At present Cityfibre are already working with residential ISP partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> on a \u00a32.5bn project that aims to bring 1Gbps <strong>Fibre-to-the-Home<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>) broadband connectivity to 1 million UK premises across 12 cities and towns by the end of 2021, which could then be extended to 5 million premises across 37 UK cities and towns by 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/10\/cityfibre-get-2-5bn-to-build-ftth-broadband-to-5-million-uk-homes.html\">full details<\/a>).
