UK ISP Grain<\/a> has today announced that their ongoing rollout of a new gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband network is being extended to include an unspecified number of homes in the city of Leicester (Leicestershire, England), which has a population of around 360,000.<\/p>\n

The provider, which was recently boosted by a \u00a375m<\/strong> equity investment from Equitix (here<\/a>), ultimately aims to cover 300,000 UK premises. As part of that they’re already expanding their network across parts of Liverpool, Accrington, Grimsby, Scarborough, Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness and Blackburn, among others.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Grain’s UK rollout aims to be delivered over the next 5-years (i.e. by 2026).<\/div>\n

The latest city to join this list is Leicestershire<\/strong>. Some of the first streets to be connected will include those around Narborough Road, Paton Street and Eastleigh Road, with further expansion happening across town between Poole Road and Beatrice Road. Many more will follow.<\/p>\n

New customers can expect to pay from just \u00a314.99 per month for a symmetric speed 50Mbps package, which goes up to \u00a344.99 for their top 900Mbps plan. All of these packages come with an 12-month minimum contract term, free installation and a router. Suffice to say that the goal of such aggressive pricing is often to attract rapid take-up.<\/p>\n

Tracy Karam, Head of Customer Experience for Grain, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The response from residents and businesses has been very positive, with many already signing up to the service before work on their street has even been completed.<\/p>\n

Our service has become even more popular in recent months, as customers rely more and more on fast, reliable and secure network for working, learning, gaming, and entertainment. We are pleased to be rolling out our offer prices to the residents of Leicester, allowing them to access true full-fibre at unbeatable prices.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The challenge here is that Leicester is already home to several gigabit-capable broadband network rivals. For example, Virgin Media<\/a> already covers the vast majority of the city, while there’s a growing array of FTTP<\/a> deployments from Openreach<\/a>, CityFibre<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, OFNL and Fibrehop (Triangle Networks). Glide also has some coverage in the city, but we’re not sure how much of it is FTTP<\/a> vs SLU FTTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, Leicester looks set to become an aggressively competitive market, and we’re thus a little surprised that Grain would choose it as one of their first deployments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
