In what seems a case of another day, another full-fibre rollout, former leading altnet CityFibre has announced a £1.5 million extension to its £30 million development project for the provision of gigabit broadband connectivity to tens of thousands of premises in the city of Peterborough.
In September 2020, the company, which claims to be the UK’s third largest broadband provider, claimed to have hit a major milestone in Peterborough when it officially passed the halfway mark on its original build plan. Now, with what CityFibre says is no less than “huge” demand for full-fibre services, the villages of Glinton and Eye are being added to the roll out, with work starting in the areas this month. Services are now live for users across many areas of Peterborough, including Dogsthorpe, Paston, Walton, Eastfield, Park, Orton Southgate and New England.
