Internet provider TalkTalk is expanding its full fibre broadband programme to Ipswich after partnering with CityFibre and Openreach.
Works led by CityFibre have continued across the town since February 2020, with the company looking to see Ipswich become a gigabit city when works complete in 2022.
The three companies are aiming to bring fibre to the premises broadband across the town – meaning a full fibre connection will be used from the exchange all the way to their home.
Currently, much of the town uses a mix of fibre and copper cables, with fibre leading only as far as a street cabinet. Companies to make use of the network so far include Zen, which joined the network earlier this year.

Ultrafast broadband connections are being made available in Aberdeen.
Internet service provider Talk Talk is working with CityFibre to offer the service with average speeds of 506 megabits per second available in the city.
Talk Talk said the use of its network soared by 62% between December 2019 and December 2020.
Streaming, online gaming, broadcasting of live sports and mass working from home have contributed heavily to this exceptional rise in internet usage.
Jonathan Kini, Managing Director of TalkTalk Direct Business and Consumer, said: “We believe fast, affordable, full-fibre broadband should be accessible to all. This has been brought into even sharper focus by the pandemic, so we’re thrilled that people across Aberdeen can now benefit from the UK’s latest fibre technology thanks to our new Future Fibre packages.”
