CityFibre has been awarded three new contracts under the government’s Project Gigabit programme, totalling £318m in new funding.
This will subsidise the rollout of fibre infrastructure to 218,000 rural properties in Norfolk, Suffolk and Hampshire.
The contracts will be supported by an additional private investment from CityFibre of £170m, which see a further 283,000 homes connected across the three counties.
CityFibre CEO Greg Mesch said: “Our growing participation in Project Gigabit is central to our strategy, optimising our commercial rollout plan alongside the programme.”
The first Project Gigabit connections are expected in early 2024.
