Broadband users in Moulsecoomb & Bevendean, and in parts of Hanover & Elm Grove, Woodingdean and East Brighton can access some of the fastest internet services available thanks to CityFibre.
The outfit has completed its network rollout in these areas and homes have been designated ‘ready for service.’ This means residents can choose to connect to the fastest and most reliable internet services in the UK when they go live in their area.
In Brighton & Hove, residents can already sign up to UK launch partner, Vodafone, TalkTalk, Giganet, IDnet, Yayzi, Air Broadband, NoOne and Octaplus with other providers expected to join the network soon.
The project marks the completion of another milestone in CityFibre’s £80 million project, which aims to help future-proof Brighton & Hove’s digital infrastructure by ensuring it is able to support residents and local businesses. Once the entire build has been completed, almost every home and business in the Brighton & Hove area will have access to full fibre broadband.
CityFibre’s Area Manager for Brighton & Hove, Anne Krausse said: “Brighton & Hove has been a vibrant and forward-looking city – it now has the added bonus of the best connectivity available.
“Works are progressing across the area and it’s fantastic to see our first customers connected. Residents can be assured that any short-term disruption as we continue the build will pay dividends in the long-term. In time, the Brighton & Hove area will have access to one of the fastest and most reliable networks available.”
