Network operator CityFibre<\/a> has revealed that, following an “ongoing review of prioritisation of our deployment locations<\/em>“, they have taken the decision to pause their \u00a340m project to deploy a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network across the Wiltshire town of Swindon.<\/p>\n

CityFibre<\/a>’s deployment in Swindon began in October 2020 (here<\/a>) and was originally supported by civil engineering firm VolkerSmart Technologies (recently rebranded to VolkerTelecoms<\/a>). The same contractor has worked with the operator in a number of other locations, such as Bracknell, Maidenhead, Slough and Ipswich.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> CityFibre<\/a> \u2013 supported by various UK ISPs (Vodafone<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Giganet and Zen Internet<\/a> etc.) \u2013 is owned by Antin Infrastructure Partners, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Mubadala Investment Company and Interogo Holding.<\/div>\n

However, it’s fair to say that the Swindon build did suffer from some problems and complaints over the years (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), although the operator has still managed to cover the vast majority of the town with their new network and so the impact of today’s pause – occurring ahead of the original 2024 completion goal – shouldn’t be as significant as it could have been.<\/p>\n

At the same time the operator has had somewhat of a rocky 2023, which is not unlike many other network builders. The operator, under pressure from rising costs (build, leases and interest payments on debt etc.), competition and other factors (e.g. the need to generate strong take-up), began the year by announcing hundreds of job losses (here<\/a>) and also suffered disruption in Norwich after their local build partner, Telec Networks<\/strong><\/a>, called in the administrators (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Shortly after that we also learnt that a fair number of their other build locations (here<\/a>), such as those linked to Kier Group<\/strong> and the odd other contractor, had been “paused<\/em>” as part of the same review process as mentioned for Swindon. The decision to cancel or change a build partner is one that typically causes significant build delays, as it can take up to around a year to find and appoint a suitable replacement for large projects.<\/p>\n

A CityFibre spokesperson said (Swindon Advertiser<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n

“CityFibre is pausing its Swindon rollout, and we won\u2019t be getting to Wroughton in the near future. This decision comes as part of an ongoing review of prioritisation of our deployment locations, given the pace and scale of our nationwide rollout.<\/p>\n

Any areas we no longer intend to reach as part of our commercial rollout are communicated to BDUK via the normal channels. I\u2019m sorry we won\u2019t be able to supply full fibre to Wroughton as part of this current rollout, but there is a possibility we will return to finish South Swindon and Wroughton at a later date.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The news that Swindon has become the latest build project to be put on ice is particularly concerning, since CityFibre were already getting fairly close to completion of the original build plan (at least they will, once all of the ‘built but not yet live’ areas become ‘Ready for Service’). But the reality here is that the operator, like many other players in the current market, need to keep a close eye on their financial situation and focusing on monetising what they’ve built so far is a natural response to the pressure.<\/p>\n

The operator\u2019s wider full fibre network currently covers 3 million UK premises (up from 2.5m in January 2023) and 2.6m of those are considered to be \u2018Ready For Service\u2019 by a supporting broadband ISP (up from 2.2m). But their original ambition is to reach up to 8m premises (funded by c.\u00a32.4bn in equity and c.\u00a34.9bn debt) \u2013 across over 285 cities, towns and villages (c.30% of the UK) \u2013 by the end of 2025 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

CityFibre told us a couple of months ago that they remain confident of both their roll-out targets and that they\u2019ll be able to find replacement contractors for all their paused projects. But after so much disruption it’s becoming increasingly hard to see that 8 million ambition as being achievable by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The operator has previously talked about balancing this through the potential acquisition of some rival networks to boost their coverage. However, consolidation is a complex and expensive business, due to the many differences that can exist between networks and technologies. But for now, it remains to be seen how successful CityFibre will be in this regard and whether it will be enough to help keep them on target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
