Fibre optic network builder Cityfibre<\/a> has confirmed that they’ve started to roll-out their new 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband network across the northern city of Newcastle (Tyne and Wear), which is expected to cost \u00a350m and is being supported by their UK ISP partner Vodafone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interestingly Newcastle-upon-Tyne<\/strong> is one of Cityfibre<\/a>’s Phase 2 cities under their wider \u00a32.5bn<\/strong> investment plan, which aims to cover around 1 million homes across 12 UK cities and towns with Gigabit capable “full fibre<\/em>” broadband by the end of 2021 (Phase One) and then 5 million premises by the end of 2025 across 60 cities and towns (here<\/a>). As such we weren’t expecting the build to start quite so soon.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless a quick check reveals that the operator’s civil engineering teams are currently doing quite a bit of work around the north western side of Newcastle, with Kenton<\/strong> and Blakelaw<\/strong> being among the first areas to benefit from the network. Apparently this work actually started a few weeks ago but it has only now been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Local contractor IQA Elecnor is delivering the construction programme on CF’s behalf and the build itself is expected to take around 3-4 years to finish (i.e. expect completion by the end of 2024).<\/p>\n

Jason Legget, Cityfibre<\/a>’s City Manager for Newcastle, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are supporting the city by making our investment in infrastructure. We don\u2019t just go into economic hotspots or for people who have a lot of disposable income. We are making sure there is parity for everyone – whether you are rich or poor, digitally-savvy or not.<\/p>\n

Our competitors would not do that, they would never have started investing in an area where this may not getting massive take-up. But we know that is where people are going to benefit the most. Our focus is now on making sure we get the whole city covered as quickly as possible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The main competition for Cityfibre’s network in the city, at least in terms of “ultrafast broadband<\/em>” connectivity, will undoubtedly come from Virgin Media<\/a>’s soon-to-be Gigabit capable cable network (currently 500Mbps max but 1Gbps by 2021); although Virgin only reaches about two-thirds of the city and Cityfibre usually aims for 85%+ coverage. On the other hand Virgin seem to be busy extending their network just north of Cityfibre\u2019s build, which could make for an interesting clash of networks in the near future.<\/p>\n

The Gigafast Broadband<\/a><\/strong> packages from Vodafone<\/a> cost from just \u00a328 per month for an unlimited 100Mbps (average symmetric speed) service on an 18 month contract, including free installation and a good wireless router, which rises to \u00a348 for 900Mbps. Virgin might be able to match the downloads and come close on price, but they can’t do the same for uploads.<\/p>\n

Virgin also has a strong Pay TV service, although Vodafone<\/a> have moved a little bit to tackle this by launching a new Apple 4K TV service, which admittedly isn’t anything like as extensive as Virgin’s TV solution but it’s a start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
