The Connecting Devon and Somerset<\/a> (CDS) programme has today issued a progress update on their new Phase 2 contracts with ISPs Airband<\/a>, Wessex Internet<\/a> and Truespeed<\/a>, which are worth a combined \u00a380m (including \u00a323.6m of public investment) and aim to improve broadband coverage to 56,396 premises<\/strong> (mostly rural areas).<\/p>\n

The previous Open Mark Review<\/strong> (OMR) in 2019, which helped to identify any existing or planned coverage from “superfast broadband<\/em>” (30Mbps+<\/strong>) networks, found around 115,000 premises<\/strong> that still couldn\u2019t access or won\u2019t be able to get superfast speeds for years.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Total “superfast<\/em>” coverage across Devon and Somerset, including a majority of commercial build, is around 90% (c.1 million premises) – below the UK figure of c.97%.<\/div>\n

The new Phase 2 contracts, covering a total of 6 regional LOTS, were officially award in December 2020 to help tackle some of that (here<\/a>). As a result more than 56,000 homes and businesses can expect to gain access to a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) network and that’s all due for completion in 2024. Just to recap..<\/p>\n

The Contracts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

— Airband<\/a> will be expanding its full fibre coverage into rural areas of Somerset West and Taunton, parts of Sedgemoor, East Devon, as well as areas of Mid Devon, South Hams and Teignbridge. This reflects about 37,500 premises and includes roughly \u00a325.5m of public investment.<\/p>\n

— Truespeed<\/a> will be working in B&NES (Bath & North East Somerset), North Somerset, Mendip and part of Sedgemoor. This reflects over 15,170 premises and includes roughly \u00a36.7m of public investment.<\/p>\n

— Wessex Internet<\/a> will deliver in rural communities of South Somerset. This reflects a little over 3,600 premises and includes roughly \u00a34.7m of public investment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first live connections for most of this aren’t expected to appear until the autumn because it often takes a fair bit of time for operators, after securing a contract, to conduct various engineering surveys, secure wayleaves and start the initial civil engineering work. Nevertheless, CDS has today published a useful little progress update, which we’ve simplified down to the most useful bits below (we’ve covered a little of this before).<\/p>\n

CDS March 2021 Progress Update (Phase 2)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

— Airband<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Airband is due to start construction of its first link for the new network in July – this will take place in Staplegrove and Monkton in Somerset, while in Devon it will include Powderham, and the area between Tiverton and Nomansland. Survey work is underway in these areas, and due to start imminently in Taunton, Halberton and Bradninch. It’s anticipated that properties in Staplegrove and Monkton will be the first to be connected by around September.<\/p>\n

Airband has already provided superfast access to 18,700 homes and businesses across Devon and Somerset and its latest full fibre programme will extend its network to a further 40,150 premises.<\/p>\n

— Truespeed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Truespeed has begun its primary \u201cbackhaul\u201d connection in Bath, Kingston Seymour, Wells, Saltford, and Nunney, and it anticipates that by this autumn the first premises in each of these areas will be connected. It also plans to publish its detailed rollout plan this summer.<\/p>\n

— Wessex Internet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wessex Internet is due to start building the first links to its network in the Galhampton area of South Somerset in mid-April. This main framework, known as the \u201cbackhaul network\u201d will connect to the company\u2019s nearest pre-existing infrastructure in Yarlington. The first live connections will be up and running from this coming autumn in North and South Barrow, Woolston and surrounding areas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CDS is also currently completing a refresh of its Open Market Review (OMR), which was carried out before going out to tender in February 2020. This has to be double-checked after the contract is awarded to ensure any areas earmarked by CDS for coverage are not in the plans of commercially funded programmes. This enables public funding to be spent where the need is greatest.<\/p>\n

CDS, BDUK and the contractor carrying out the work can decide if the public money should be redeployed to another area in need of subsidised coverage. However, some limited “overbuilding<\/em>“, overlapping commercially built networks, can still happen in some areas “where it provides the most cost-effective route<\/em>” (as well as sometimes at the edges of a network’s coverage).<\/p>\n

Councillor David Hall (Somerset), CDS Board Member, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A huge amount of work goes into planning the network prior to construction starting, and it\u2019s essential work to ensure the CDS investment can achieve maximum impact to provide homes and businesses with a future-proof broadband network. While this does take time, it\u2019s great to see the companies looking to make a start on expanding the fibre network in the CDS region. Wessex Internet alone will be constructing around 300 kilometres of fibre in South Somerset over the next three years which has to be applauded.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We should point out that a lot of separate commercial deployments of gigabit-capable broadband services are also taking place across the two counties, including from the ISPs mentioned above and various others like Openreach<\/a>, Virgin Media<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a> and Jurassic Fibre etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
