There might also have been missed opportunities to speak to the City Fibre team before the workmen arrive.<\/p>\n<p>The team working in the area are trying to be considerate to residents\u2019 wishes, are approachable and will be as helpful as possible. There is also a supervisor on site at all times while the work is ongoing to try to resolve any concerns. The current trenching team have a specific contact number of 0800 3285156 and City Fibre complaints email is complaints@<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">cityfibre<\/a>.com.<\/p>\n<p>The trenching work is inevitably disruptive and noisy, and we completely understand residents\u2019 worries about damage and the mess of the digging, but City Fibre are adamant that any damage will be put right. They also are committed to cleaning up at the end of the works to make sure the streets are back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>Louise and I remain in contact with the company and if residents are unhappy with the response they receive from the supervisor or from the complaints email address we are more than happy to take up residents\u2019 complaints to resolve any outstanding issues.<\/p>\n<p>What we shouldn\u2019t lose sight of is what gigabit connectivity to the internet will bring in the future and once this period of disruption is over these improvements in connectivity will come into their own.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Rebecca Stephens, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a>&#8217;s City Manager for Peterborough, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are transforming Peterborough&#8217;s digital infrastructure and our city-wide build programme is continuing to gain momentum.<\/p>\n<p>While we strive to manage disruption, we appreciate that some residents may have concerns. We are committed to resolving those issues and in this case we swiftly responded to residents in Botolph Green, reassuring them that full reinstatement will be carried out once works are complete.<\/p>\n<p>As we continue to expand Peterborough&#8217;s full fibre network &#8211; and connect more premises &#8211; we will work with the wider community as well as our partnership with Peterborough City Council to ensure the wider community is fully aware of our build plans through proactive communications.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Deploying new infrastructure is very expensive and will inevitably create periods of disruption for residents where it takes place, which is often true no matter who is doing the noisy civil engineering side of things. Over the years we\u2019ve seen similar gripes being levelled against <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\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> and various other operators.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that the growing possibility of overbuild between rival ISPs means that we can probably expect to see a lot more gripes like this in the future. In the long run the ability to access affordable 1Gbps broadband speeds should make it all worthwhile and may even boost the value of local housing, as well as the economy, but in the short-term the disruption is perhaps a necessary evil.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time Cityfibre&#8217;s deployment in Peterborough does seem to attract more gripes than most and there may only be so many times that the operator can apologise for the same sort of issues reoccurring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again contractors working for Cityfibre, which is investing \u00a330m to deploy a new 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband ISP network in the city of Peterborough, have attracted local complaints.
