Rolling out broadband infrastructure remains mission critical for the British public, and a new report from the Internet Services Providers’ Association (ISPA UK) shows that 78% believe that everyone in the UK should be able to access high-speed internet.

CityFibre has connected the first customers in Suffolk to its network, helping more than 80,000 residents across rural areas access full fibre broadband, funded by a £100m award as part of the government’s Project Gigabit.
The independent network platform is also contributing its own investment to deliver the project and reach more homes and businesses in the area, and CityFibre’s Project Gigabit rollouts are part of the company’s commitment to reach at least 8 million premises nationwide.
CityFibre’s rollout in Suffolk marks the sixth of nine Project Gigabit delivery contracts secured by CityFibre, with customers in Suffolk joining the first customers already online in Cambridge and Norfolk.
The connections in Suffolk are an important milestone for CityFibre, which is rolling out its 10Gbps-capable full fibre network to over 1.3m premises in Project Gigabit areas, both subsidised premises and through additional CityFibre investment.
