CityFibre has completed the primary build of its full fibre network in Wolverhampton with over 100,000 premises, more than 90% of Wolverhampton’s homes and most businesses, ready for service.
The company began its rollout in Wolverhampton by connecting approximately 170 public sector sites to its network, including schools, libraries, leisure centres and council offices.
CityFibre has since completed a further 119 connections including the City of Wolverhampton Council offices, educational buildings and Wolverhampton Homes apartment blocks.
It will now continue to explore opportunities to connect more premises, including flats, new-build homes, business parks and homes on private roads.
Charlie Kitchin, Partnership Manager at CityFibre, said: “This rollout marks an exciting step for the city’s connectivity, which will now benefit from faster and more reliable broadband. The upgrading of this digital infrastructure will bring significant productivity and innovation benefits for the local economy.”
Wolverhampton's gigabit coverage has increased from just 2% in 2020 to 96% in 2024.
