SHEFFIELD SET TO BENEFIT FROM THE UK’S FASTEST BROADBAND SPEEDS Openreach, the UK’s digital infrastructure company, this week announced Sheffield as one of 36 towns and cities that are set to benefit from Openreach’s rollout of some of the fastest broadband speeds in the UK. In Sheffield, new Fibreto-the-Premises (FTTP) technology, where fibre is laid all the way from the exchange to people’s front doors, is heading over the next 12 months. Tens of thousands of residents and businesses are expected to benefit with work to build the new network will start
early next year following a period of planning and surveying. The work by Openreach, the UK’s largest telephone and broadband network, will complement the ongoing fibre broadband roll-out by the Superfast South Yorkshire programme, a partnership between the four South Yorkshire local authorities, UK Government and Openreach. Councillor Olivia Blake, deputy leader of Sheffield City Council, said: “Sheffield is well covered by superfast broadband, over 96% of homes and businesses can access
broadband with speeds of over 30Mbps. However, we want our residents and businesses to be able to access the next generation of technology as soon as possible. “This announcement by Openreach will soon help our businesses to be more productive and more competitive and it will mean our homes can access the connectivity they need for modern living – such as home working, video streaming and computer gaming. “Sheffield has an ambition that no one is excluded from the digital age and the socio-economic
benefits of being online. Openreach will install full fibre broadband across the city, including councilowned social housing, meaning that everyone will have the chance to benefit from the best networks available.” Openreach recently raised its target for full fibre connections from three to four million premises by March 2021, with an ambition to reach 15 million homes and businesses by the mid-2020s if the right investment conditions are in place. The new locations have been published on
Openreach’s website alongside a raft of information about its ‘Fibre First’ build programme. This short video explains what full fibre technology is. People interested in upgrading their broadband can see what’s available in their area by entering their postcode into Openreach’s online fibre checker. Openreach has committed to publishing information on its website detailing its build plans for the next 12 months – including the total number of exchange areas to be reached in each location over the next 24 months.
