CityFibre has now laid 340km of fibre cabling beneath the streets of Reading as part of its £58m plan to upgrade the town's digital infrastructure. 

This means there is enough full fibre connecting the town’s homes to lap Reading Football Club’s stadium 982 times.

Neil Madle, CityFibre’s Partnership Manager for Reading, said: “340km of full fibre laid beneath streets of Reading represents great progress in our rollout."

Locally, the rollout is being completed by CityFibre’s build partner, OCU Services, which currently has teams working in the Woodley, Sandford and University of Reading areas.

Large sections of the town have also been completed, including North, West and South Reading.
