Network operator CityFibre, which has so far built their 5.5Gbps speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network to cover 4.4 million UK premises (4.3m RFS), has today confirmed the completion of their “primary” £17 million build across Havant in Hampshire (England), which included Westbourne and other surrounding areas.
CityFibre originally started this deployment during May 2022 (here). The operator’s new network has since laid over 244km of dense full fibre and is now ready for service to over 22,000 homes, covering around 98% of local homes and most businesses in the area.
While the primary-build is now complete, CityFibre said they would continue to explore opportunities to connect more homes and businesses, including flats, new-build homes, business parks and homes on private roads.
Adrian Smith, Partnership Manager at CityFibre, said:
“The completion of our primary-build in Havant marks a significant step forward for the town, bringing access to some of
the fastest and most reliable broadband in the UK. This world-class digital infrastructure will transform the way people learn and connect with each other, and we’re excited to witness the positive impact on this community for years to come.”
