After a long delay due to the failure of their previous local contractor, CityFibre<\/a> has today announced the start (or restart) of their \u00a323m project to deploy a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network across the large West Yorkshire (England) town of Halifax.<\/p>\n

The local deployment – due to cover “nearly every home and business<\/em>” in the town – was first announced all the way back in August 2021 (here<\/a>), with the plan being that civil engineering firm NMCN<\/strong> would begin the construction phase in January 2022. But this suffered a significant delay after the operator’s chosen contractor fell into administration (here<\/a>) and was later gobbled up by Svella (Svella Connect).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Cityfibre<\/a> is supported by various ISPs, such as Vodafone<\/a> (Gigafast Broadband<\/a><\/strong>), TalkTalk<\/a> (Future Fibre<\/strong><\/a>), Zen Internet<\/a>, Giganet and others, but they aren\u2019t all live or available in every location.. yet.<\/div>\n

The good news today is that CityFibre<\/a> has now appointed a new contractor – Network Plus<\/strong> – to deliver its network rollout in Halifax, which is expected to spark the creation of more than 40 local jobs. Work is already underway around the Queens Road<\/strong> area of the town, with completion being anticipated for 2024.<\/p>\n

As usual, this rollout forms part of the operator\u2019s wider \u00a34.9bn<\/strong> investment project, which has so far enabled their full fibre network to cover 1.7 million UK premises – with 1.5m \u2018Ready For Service<\/em>\u2018 via a supporting ISP (here<\/a>). The aim is to cover up to 8 million premises – across around 285 cities, towns and villages (c.30% of the UK) – by the end of 2025 (here<\/a>), but they also plan to reach into rural areas via Project Gigabit (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The new network is also expected, once complete, to cover 800,000 UK businesses, 400,000 public sector sites and 250,000 5G<\/a> access points.<\/p>\n

Steve Moore, CityFibre’s Area Manager for Halifax, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our investment is set to transform the digital capabilities of residents and businesses in Halifax and we\u2019re delighted to announce our partnership with Network Plus as the first phase of the project commences. We cannot wait for residents and businesses to access our network and see what is possible with digital connectivity that propels you forward rather than holds you back.<\/p>\n

As well as future-proofing Halifax\u2019s digital infrastructure and capabilities, this project is providing a welcome boost to the jobs market. It\u2019s created 40 new roles, with local talent needed to help us carry out this important project.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In terms of gigabit-capable competition in the town, Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) already covers the vast majority of premises. But outside that, Openreach<\/a> and – to a much lesser extent – Hyperoptic<\/a> only have the smallest pockets of full fibre coverage, which provides CityFibre with a good opportunity to steal away market share from rivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
