The seventh contract awarded under the UK’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a> broadband rollout scheme \u2013 worth “nearly<\/em>” \u00a314 million \u2013 has today been awarded to ISP Wessex Internet<\/a>, which will upgrade connectivity for \u201caround<\/em>\u201d 10,500 hard-to-reach homes and businesses across rural parts of the New Forest in Hampshire (England).<\/p>\n

The provider already has plenty of experience with rolling out Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) infrastructure across rural parts of Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset in England, both as part of various commercial and state-aid supported deployment projects. Indeed, they recently secured another Project Gigabit<\/strong> contract for North Dorset (here<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Around 75% of UK premises can already access a gigabit network (c. 45%+ via just FTTP<\/a>).<\/div>\n

By comparison, Project Gigabit aims to extend 1Gbps capable (download) networks to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025, before hopefully achieving \u201cnationwide<\/em>\u201d coverage (c. 99%) by around 2030 (here<\/a>). Commercial investment is expected to deliver around 80% of this, which leaves the government\u2019s scheme to focus on tackling the final 20% (mostly rural and some sub-urban areas), where the private sector alone often fails. The project is technology neutral, so it can be delivered via either \u201cfull fibre<\/em>\u201d FTTP<\/a>, Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) or fixed wireless access (e.g. 5G<\/a>) – but FTTP is favoured.<\/p>\n

The project uses a number of different approaches to tackle this challenge (e.g. vouches and investment in dark fibre builds), but the largest part of the scheme involves a gap-funded subsidy approach \u2013 the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy<\/strong> (GIS). This is where smaller local and larger regional contracts are awarded to network operators and ISPs who can help to build their gigabit-capable infrastructure across the final 20%.<\/p>\n

The Building Digital UK<\/a> (BDUK) agency, which manages Project Gigabit, has already awarded a string of initial contracts to various ISPs (see bottom of article for a summary) and the seventh one – New Forest (Lot 27.01)<\/strong> – has today gone to Wessex Internet<\/a>. The deal is funded by \u00a314m of public investment and aims to cover 10,500 rural homes and businesses.<\/p>\n

The new network will be rolled out to communities around the New Forest including Brockenhurst, Burley, Beaulieu, Godshill, Hordle and Sway. The first properties could be “connected to lightning-fast broadband as early as<\/em>” February 2024<\/strong>. Wessex Internet<\/a> will also work closely with Forestry England and the Verderers of the New Forest throughout this three-year programme of work and expects to start network construction in the first communities by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Digital Infrastructure Minister, Julia Lopez, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Thanks to this latest multi-million pound contract for the New Forest, thousands of hard-to-reach homes and businesses in this stunning area will benefit from a state-of-the-art network ready to provide the speed and reliability we will all need in the decades ahead.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister has put growing the economy as one of his five top priorities, and this investment will go far in delivering on that mission here in the New Forest by equipping rural areas with the infrastructure they need for the digital age.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hector Gibson Fleming, CEO at Wessex Internet, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is great news for homes and businesses in the New Forest who will be able to access world-class connectivity and the many economic and social benefits it provides. We will now work closely with the residents and communities across this beautiful national park to deliver this exciting programme.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re delighted to be awarded our second contract under Project Gigabit. It is testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and their strong track record of rolling out gigabit-capable connectivity to even the hardest to reach countryside communities.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prices for their full fibre packages usually start at \u00a329 per month for a 100Mbps (15Mbps upload) tier on a 12-month term, but this only comes with a meagre 100GB data allowance (\u00a344 for unlimited), and you\u2019ll have to pay \u00a349 (one-off) for activation. By comparison, their top unlimited usage package will give you 900Mbps (300Mbps upload) for \u00a384 per month, which is fairly expensive by today\u2019s standards, albeit still a godsend if nobody else can supply FTTP.<\/p>\n
