CityFibre has now laid 415km of full fibre beneath the streets of Newcastle as part of its £62m plan to future-proof the city’s digital connectivity.
This represents enough infrastructure to lap the St. James’ Park football stadium almost 1,200 times.
Build partner GCU is working across the city with work ongoing in the South Heaton, East Denton, Fawdon, Gosforth, Bridgewater and Benwell Grange areas, as well the area surrounding the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Newcastle University.
Work has been completed across Gosforth, Kenton, Walkergate, Walker and Arthur’s Hill.
Paul Wakefield, CityFibre’s Area Manager for Newcastle said: “Digital infrastructure has become the cornerstone of everyday life and the people we have connected say they are already reaping the benefits of lightning fast, greener and more reliable broadband.”
In Newcastle, services are available through Vodafone, TalkTalk, Giganet, Zen and others.
