Visit to £50m Full Fibre works in Norwich

It was great to visit the team at CityFibre and learn more about the really extensive programme across the city that will allow Gigabit speed broadband services to be supplied to homes & businesses in Norwich North.  

During my visit, I met representatives from CityFibre and was introduced to full fibre digital infrastructure, as well as demonstrations of the typical build process, including excavation and reinstatement.

The project forms part of CityFibre’s up to £4bn Gigabit City Investment Programme which will bring full fibre networks within reach of up to 8m homes and businesses across the UK.  

This Full Fibre network is a huge step forward in Norwich. It's never been more needed and I am delighted to see such investment and commitment taking place in Norwich

While the overall project is expected to take up to four years to complete, construction teams will typically only take a few days to pass each property. CityFibre have assured me that will be in touch by post ahead of any work starting.  

Residents interested in giving their home broadband a boost can find out more about the build and register their interest at http://cityfibre.com/PR-Register
