CityFibre has laid 840km of full fibre internet cables through Northampton as part of its £40m plan to upgrade the town’s digital infrastructure.
This milestone represents enough full fibre to cover 143 laps of the nearby Silverstone Circuit.
Granemore Group is installing the full fibre network on CityFibre’s behalf, with works currently ongoing in the Abington and Semilong areas.
Work has been completed across large sections of the town including Hunsbury, Grange Park, Far Cotton, Parklands, Blackthorn and Boothville with more to follow shortly.
Councillor Jonathan Nunn, Leader of West Northants Council, said: “We have recently agreed a wayleave which will allow this infrastructure to be installed to thousands of council homes, providing residents with increased choice, competition and access to the latest digital infrastructure and all the benefits this can bring.”
In Northampton, services are available from launch partner Vodafone, on selected Vodafone Pro Broadband plans, while TalkTalk, Giganet, Zen, Air Broadband, Yayzi, IDNet and Octaplus are available in parts of the town.
