Hi,
I live in Colchester, Essex. The borough of Colchester has a population of over 200,000 and is now the largest in Essex.
I am struggling to understand why no major FTTP infrastructure company appears to be interested in entering the town. Colcheter does have some good coverage by virgin media, but has hardly been touched by Openreach in respect of FTTP, with only a few new build developments that have FTTP.
Outside the town itself there are some patches of FTTP in rural villages by County Broadband and the local council have an agreement with LILACONNECT to start rolling out some FTTP, which is mainly focussed on the town centre. I look at nearby towns such as Ipswich (City Fibre) and Chelmsford, who have almost full FTTP coverage and can’t understand why someone like CityFibre wouldn’t be interested in Colchester? Does anyone have information or can anyone shed any light on why City Fibre/Openreach or any major FTTP haven’t got plans for Colchester, and secondly what criteria they use to target areas. Kind regards
