BT has just completed fibre deployment in Foxhall, Mildenhall, Newmarket and Stowmarket in Suffolk.
This would help more than 41k homes and businesses in these areas to access download speeds of up to 76Mbps while BT has already enabled its superfast fibre optic broadband in Woodbridge, Felixstowe, Belstead,Ipswich, Haverhill, Bury St Edmunds and Kesgrave.
More than 185k households in Suffolk will get access to fibre speeds by next Spring, according to BT.
“No-one is doing more than BT to bring faster broadband to Suffolk,” the East Anglian Daily Times quoted Dave Hughes, BT regional director for East of England as saying.
BT will work with local authorities to bring faster, fibre broadband to as many local homes and businesses as possible, he added.
BT’s FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) broadband which can deliver up to 38Mbps/76Mbps speeds, is currently available to more than 10 million UK homes. Its £2.5 billion fibre upgrades will enable more than 66% of UK households and businesses to receive these superfast speeds within next two years.
BT will also deploy ultra-fast, FTTP (fibre to the premises) technology which can boost speeds up to 110Mbps/330Mbps in selected areas where it thinks the rollouts are ‘commercially viable’.
According to Ofcom’s latest findings, Virgin Media’s 100Mbps service offers the UK’s fastest average speeds of 83Mbps, followed by BT Infinity which offers average speeds of around 53Mbps against the advertised speeds of ‘up to’ 76Mbps.
Not all areas in Haverhill can get fibre optic broadband as there are still some junction boxes have still not been updated, As one of the areas that can not yet get it I am at 1mb download if I am lucky and no dates as to when the last 2 boxes will be updated just a “pending”
