Plymouth's (UK) local The Herald newspaper reports that H2O Networks ( i3 Group ) is in talk with the local Chamber of Commerce to help build a 100Mbps next generation fibre optic ( FTTH ) broadband network in the area, provided there is demand. H2O would even cover £35million of the total £40m (£5m for a new Internet Exchange) required to build the network.


The Plymouth Chamber of Commerce is naturally calling for local businesses and even residents to support its call and help show demand for the service. Presently the network remains just a pipe dream until a sufficient business case can be proven for H2O to invest.
