CityFibre rolls out full fibre across Home Counties

CityFibre is connecting up to 150,000 homes and businesses across rural areas of East Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire to full fibre broadband as part of the government’s Project Gigabit programme.

Works have now begun in East Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, with works in Hertfordshire set to begin in 2025.

The rollout was made possible by the award of £58m in Project Gigabit subsidy to CityFibre, which is also contributing its own additional investment to further expand and densify its network.

The new network will provide residents and businesses with access to a wide range of ISPs, including Vodafone, TalkTalk and Zen.

Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre, said: “With build now underway, we look forward to helping communities free themselves from the copper networks of the past and experience full fibre services.”
