Fibre optic builder Cityfibre<\/a>, which has a \u00a34bn ambition to roll-out their 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH<\/a>) broadband network to cover 8 million UK homes and businesses, has revealed that their deployment to the Dorset city of Bournemouth will be extended into Poole and Christchurch “as soon as possible<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

At present the operator, which is working with residential ISP partner Vodafone<\/a> UK (soon to be joined by TalkTalk<\/a>, once the \u00a3200m FibreNation deal<\/a> completes), is currently in the process of investing \u00a338m to build their FTTH<\/a> network right across Bournemouth (here<\/a>). The company has also been able to boost this by upgrading an existing legacy FTTH<\/a> network in the city (Gigler), which previously covered c.21,000 premises.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Cityfibre<\/a>’s civil engineering contractor in the area is CCN.<\/div>\n

Over the years’ the boundary between Bournemouth and its two neighbouring towns – Poole and Christchurch – has become increasingly hard to spot, with urban growth expanding to effectively make them appear more like one big city (at least on a map). Admittedly anybody passing through the areas would easily be able to spot the visual differences.<\/p>\n

Now Cityfibre<\/a>’s boss has said that they “acknowledge we have to incorporate Poole and Christchurch<\/em>” into their roll-out and are “prepared<\/em>” to increase their current investment from \u00a338m to \u00a375m+<\/strong> in order to add both into any future plan, details of which are due to be published soon (Cityfibre’s existing plan is in the process of being expanded due to the FibreNation deal – we’ll probably get more on that next month).<\/p>\n

Greg Mesch, Cityfibre CEO, said (Bournemouth Echo<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We’re investing \u00a338m into just Bournemouth alone and we’re prepared to up that investment into Poole and Christchurch and to make it somewhere in the neighbourhood of, I think, about \u00a375m-\u00a380m.<\/p>\n

We just need the cities to understand what we\u2019re doing is bringing a competitive force that will help you and your citizens have a richer life, better industrial output, raise your GDP and sustain you for the next 100 years.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One interesting fact here is that Cityfibre’s biggest competition for “ultrafast broadband<\/em>” (100Mbps+<\/strong>) services across the whole area currently only stems from Virgin Media<\/a>’s soon-to-be 1Gbps capable broadband and TV network, which already covers the vast majority of premises. Meanwhile Openreach<\/a> only has a very small deployment of 300Mbps G.fast<\/a> technology and their FTTP<\/a> is almost completely absent, surprisingly.<\/p>\n

However Cityfibre’s timing isn’t ideal, particularly in Poole where locals have so far had to deal with two years’ of extensive street works to both upgrade the local gas mains and to resurface many of the main roads (inc. a lot of pavements) at the same time. A more efficient upgrade would have timed the deployment of fibre to coincide with as much of that work as possible, but none of the operators’ seemed to have done so.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Cityfibre claims that 18,582 homes in Bournemouth are now covered by their new \/ upgraded FTTH network and apparently 200 installations were carried out last month alone, although we’d be interested to know if any of those were former customers of the old Gigler network.<\/p>\n

Vodafone<\/a>’s related Gigafast Broadband<\/a><\/strong> packages currently cost from \u00a328 per month for an unlimited 100Mbps (symmetric speed) service on an 18 month contract, including free installation (you also get a good wireless router), which rises to \u00a348 per month for their top 900Mbps (Gigabit) tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
