A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
CityFibre’s full fibre network build across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) now reaches 1,043km.
The BCP build began four years ago and so far homes and businesses in the Boscombe, Westbourne, Southbourne, Kinson, Talbot village, Turbary, East Howe, Wallisdown and Friars Cliff areas of the district can now connect.
The full rollout across the BCP area is more than halfway towards completion with work also ongoing in the Bearwood, Alderney, New Milton and Broadstone areas.
Adrian Smith, CityFibre’s Partnership Manager for BCP, said: “To think our fibre could now stretch the distance from Bournemouth’s beach to Barcelona’s paints a picture of how far we’ve come.”
The rollout is being completed by CityFibre’s build partner CCN Communications in collaboration with Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.
