CityFibre has completed the primary build of its full fibre network in Southend-on-Sea. Its network is now ready for service to over 70,000 homes, about 90% of the city’s residential properties, as well as most businesses, key public sector and community sites.
Construction began on the £51m project in July 2019 and CityFibre has since laid almost 1,000km of dense full fibre infrastructure across the city.
Neil Madle, Partnership Manager for Southend-on-Sea at CityFibre, said: “Now equipped with full fibre connectivity, the local community stands ready to reap the many productivity and innovation benefits that full fibre offers.”
A recent Hatch report found Southend-on-Sea could benefit from £296m in productivity and innovation gains and £65m from a widened workforce over a 15-year period due to the new digital infrastructure.
CityFibre’s services in the area will be available through launch partner Vodafone, TalkTalk, Giganet and Zen.
