https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/03/wightfibre-begin-rollout-of-1gbps-home-broadband-on-isle-of-wight.htmlThe joint £35m project between cable ISP WightFibre and Infracapital, which aims to deploy a new Gigabit capable ultrafast Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband network to cover 53000 of the 61000 homes on the Isle of Wight (Hampshire, UK) by the end of 2022, has begun.
At present WightFibre already offers broadband download speeds of up to 152Mbps via their existing cable (DOCSIS) hybrid fibre coax network, although they’ve been conducting trials of a Gigabit (1000Mbps+) capable network using FTTH/P technology since 2016 and at the end of 2017 the operator finally announced their Gigabit Island plans.
If you're on the Isle of Wight good times are ahead.
It is really good these smaller networks are increasing the stakes, showing how it can be done.
