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.

He said: “After finding out the desperate situation that local children are facing it made me want to do something to help.
“Through no fault of their own, not all children are able to have what many take for granted and I am passionate about giving opportunities to all Peterborough children to at least be average.
