CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent full fibre network, has complete primary-build of its full fibre network in Wokingham.
The firm said the new network is now “.. ready for service” to more than 19,000 homes, equal to around 82% of Wokingham’s homes and most businesses. Wokingham is the latest town in CityFibre’s nationwide rollout, making it one of the best-connected locations in the country.
Construction began on the £15 million project in 2022, and CityFibre has since laid more than 1,211 kms of dense full fibre infrastructure across the town.
While the primary-build is now complete, CityFibre will continue to explore opportunities to connect more homes and businesses, including flats, new-build homes, business parks and homes on private roads.
In a statement, it said that residents in Wokingham can enjoy affordable, gigabit-capable and reliable full fibre broadband from a range of internet service providers (ISPs) including Vodafone, TalkTalk, Cuckoo, Zen and others.
All homes passed by the network can schedule a full fibre installation within five working days of placing an order.
Neil Madle, partnership manager at CityFibre, said: “Our completed rollout in Wokingham represents an exciting leap forward for digital connectivity across the town.
“With the UK’s top-tier digital infrastructure now in place, residents, businesses, and public institutions will benefit for generations to come.
“Wokingham is a town full of opportunity and ambition, making it a key project for us. “Full fibre is essential to the long-term growth of the UK market, and we look forward to building on our success, driving the town’s future economic development.”
