Increasing numbers of superfast broadband delivered to the county

Transcription

1 AUGUST 2017 EDITION Message from Cllr Jane Storey Better Broadband August 2017 Update As I reported in the last newsletter, we are delighted to have recently moved above 90% coverage of superfast broadband across the county. Around 315,000 properties now have the option of using fibre broadband, an increase of more than 127,000 from when the Better Broadband for programme started deployment in While this is a major milestone, I would like to reiterate County Council s commitment to provide high-speed internet access for all properties in the county no-one will be left behind. To get closer to this aspiration, I am pleased to report that the County Council and Openreach have signed an agreement to extend the coverage to 98% of all properties during 2020, reaching around 50,000 more properties than previously planned. This new agreement to reach 98% is a big leap forward, and adds to the significant increase in broadband coverage since we started this work in We are now facing the toughest challenge how to connect the remaining 2% of properties, in the most remote locations in, to ensure every property, regardless of its location, can access highspeed broadband services. This includes lobbying Government to support full rollout to the most rural areas. We are working with local communities in some of the more remote rural areas on innovative solutions to extending broadband coverage, including self-dig schemes. One example is Baylham Stone in. The village of Baylham is due to get fibre broadband in the next few months, but the small hamlet of Baylham Stone, just over 1km away, was beyond the economic reach of the deployment plan. Residents got together and raised money to pay for a self-dig scheme to route a fibre optic cable along a footpath joining the communities. Working with the local landowner, the self-dig was recently completed, and the residents of Baylham Stone will soon be joining those in Baylham in benefiting from high-speed broadband. For those who would like an interim solution whilst the fibre rollout progresses, application forms for vouchers for satellite / Wi-Fi connections continue to be available on our website. Whilst this has limitations, it is a stopgap solution which we felt it was important to offer. Increasing numbers of superfast broadband delivered to the county Each three months, we are committed to providing an update on the areas which have been upgraded to superfast fibre optic broadband since our last bulletin, and those which are planned over the next three months. See the tables overleaf which summarise these. Our website map at will be updated by early September to reflect these areas.
