Openreach has begun work to build a new network in Samlesbury, rolling out full fibre to more homes and businesses in the area.
CityFibre has begun work to connect more than 50,000 homes and businesses across rural areas of Kent to full fibre broadband as part of a £112m Project Gigabit award, helping boost connectivity to residents.
This rollout marks the ninth of nine Project Gigabit delivery contracts secured by CityFibre, with the first customers already connected in Cambridge, Norfolk and Suffolk, and are part of the company’s commitment to reach at least 8 million premises nationwide.
Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre, said: “Bringing full fibre connectivity to hard-to-reach homes and businesses across Kent will create new possibilities, empowering local communities to thrive.”
