CityFibre has now laid 170km of full fibre through Cambridge as part of its £26m plan to improve the city’s digital infrastructure.

Granemore is installing the full fibre network on CityFibre’s behalf, with works currently ongoing in the Newnham, Trumpington and Castle wards.

Work has already been completed across Chesterton, Romsey, Petersfield, Coleridge, Queen Edith’s, Kings Hedges, Abbey ward and Cherry Hinton.

Services are available from launch partner Vodafone, on selected Vodafone Pro Broadband Plans, while TalkTalk, Giganet, Zen, Air Broadband, Zybre, Yayzi, No One, IDNet, Andrews & Arnold, Octaplus, FACTco, and Link Broadband are also operating in parts of the city.

Rebecca Stephens, CityFibre’s Regional Partnership Director, said: “This milestone represents enough full fibre to cross the iconic Mathematical Bridge at Queen’s College in Cambridge 11,300 times, or to reach the top of the 36m tall Observation Wheel at Parker’s Piece more than 4,700 times.”
