Fibre connectivity

For new build properties, building regulations have recently been changed to make sure new homes are fitted with connections which can deliver gigabit-capable broadband.

For existing properties, a hybrid approach will be adopted. Where possible existing ducting under the road / footpath will be used and new fibre cables will be pulled through.

Where this is not possible, ducting will be added under roads, footpaths or land, for fibre cabling to be installed. These works will be carried out by qualified and insured contractors who have the appropriate permits with the Highways Authority.
