Cityfibre Says York UK FTTH Broadband Trial Completed and Successful

Cityfibre has published their full H1 2016 results, which among other things reveals that the joint 940Mbps Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband trial with Sky Broadband and TalkTalk in York (England) is now “completed” (14,000 premises passed) and “achieved all target objectives in terms of penetration and deployment costs.” But what comes next?

The original ambition saw Sky and TalkTalk both plough £5 million each into the first phase of the roll-out, which was expected to reach up to 20,000 premises (around a quarter of York’s 80,000 or so premises) and make use of Cityfibre’s existing 103km long fibre optic ring network in the city (The York Core).
