County Broadband has expanded its FTTP rollout plans to cover 6,000 premises in 21 rural villages located within the St Neots and Huntingdon areas of rural Cambridgeshire.
In total, County Broadband is working within 56 villages in south Cambridgeshire and has completed work in 14.
James Salmon, Director of Sales and New Territories said: “The reality is that our current part-fibre, part-copper networks simply cannot cope any longer or provide the service we all expect and require.
“It is important to emphasise that building full-fibre infrastructure in rural locations at this scale is a complex task. Each project requires significant planning, resources and time. It involves the coordination of highways, landowners, civils works and advanced fibre optic engineering.”
The 21 villages earmarked in County Broadband’s latest rollout in Cambridgeshire are: Boxworth, Buckden, Diddington, Elsworth, Eltisley, Grafham, Graveley, Great Paxton, Great Staughton, Hail Weston, Hilton, Knapwell, Lolworth, Midloe, Offord Cluny, Offord D’Arcy, Papworth St Agnes, Perry, Southoe, Toseland, and Yelling.
Each village will take 18-months to connect.
