A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
CityFibre has now laid nearly 200km of full fibre infrastructure as part of its £50m investment in Wolverhampton’s digital connectivity.
This milestone represents enough full to cover more than 2,100 football pitches at the Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Molineux Stadium.
The rollout began in March 2020 and is projected to be largely completed by 2025.
Bashir Ahmed, CityFibre’s City Manager for Wolverhampton said: “We started this project during the height of the pandemic, and the fact that we have managed to carry on and achieve so much during such a difficult time is fantastic.”
CityFibre’s build partners Callan Connect and Comex 2000 are working in various locations across the city, with work currently ongoing in Bilston East and St Peters ward, and work expected be completed in Tettenhall soon.
In Wolverhampton, services are currently available from TalkTalk.
