CityFibre is continuing its £15m digital transformation of Lowestoft with construction moving into Carlton, Whitton and Oulton Broad in the coming months.
TalkTalk, Air Broadband, Zen and Giganet are currently using CityFibre’s network to bring broadband services to Lowestoft with the first connected residents across Gunton and St. Margarets, Harbour and Normanston and much of Oulton Broad.
Vodafone and InTouch Systems will be launching services in the coming weeks.
Charles Kitchin (pictured), CityFibre’s Area Manager for Lowestoft, said: “As we move into new areas of the town, with the continued support of East Suffolk Council, Suffolk County Council and the local community, we will do all that we can to deliver a swift rollout, manage potential disruption and minimise the time we spend in each location.”
Cllr Stephen Burroughes, East Suffolk's Cabinet Member for Customer Services, Operational Partnerships and Digital Transformation added: “Enabling the installation of ultrafast broadband throughout the town means we can help unlock economic growth and regeneration, hampered in recent decades by geographical remoteness. Boosting the town’s digital capability can only help towards making it an attractive area for further investment."
