CityFibre's £2 million investment in Yaxley has added around 3,600 homes to the previously completed rollout in nearby Peterborough which already covers over 68,000 premises.
Construction began on the Yaxley project in June 2022, with 90% of local properties now able to access fibre via Vodafone, TalkTalk, Zen, Giganet and others.
Rebecca Stephens, CityFibre’s Regional Partnership Director, said: “Yaxley is today one of the best-connected places in the country thanks to the full fibre infrastructure that our team has rolled out across the village in less than a year.”
Cllr Sarah Conboy, Executive Leader of Huntingdonshire District Council, added: This will make a big difference to both businesses and our communities, allowing people to be better connected and access services with greater ease.
“The increased availability of high-quality broadband enables the increased future-proofing of our communities, as digital connectivity continues to become a crucial feature of modern life.”
According to a recent Hatch report, Peterborough stands to benefit from £293m in productivity and innovation gains and £65m from a widened workforce over a 15-year period. Enabling 5G rollout alone could drive up to £698m in positive economic impact.
