A useful list of upgraded street cabinets can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superfaststaffordshire.co.uk\/assets\/CRFS_WEBSITE_LIST_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Work is still continuing in many of the above areas and future deployments are also set to take place over the next 3-6 months in Alstonefield, Biddulph, Blythe Bridge, Churnet Side, Endon, Hartington, Ipstones, Leek, Longnor, Oakamoor, Onecote, Rushton Spencer, Tean, Waterhouses and Wetley Rocks.<\/p>\n<p>The projects <strong>progress map<\/strong> has also been updated with the latest roll-out plan until December 2014 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.superfaststaffordshire.co.uk\/assets\/MAR2_MAP_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), although some of the above listed areas will also be playing a part in deployments during the early 2015 phase. The scheme also requires BTOpenreach to lay more than 1 million metres of fibre optic cable and install around <strong>500 new street cabinets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As with all other BDUK projects it&#8217;s also anticipated that 100% will gain access to broadband speeds of at least 2Mbps by the completion date.
