Title: CityFibre pottering about my area
Post by: sof006 on November 16, 2020, 12:39:34 PM
So I was just on my walk home from work after getting off the bus. Upon getting off I noticed two men wearing bright orange vests opening up a hatch on the ground, on the back of their vests I saw CityFibre printed on.

I am curious if there is anyway to check CityFibres roll-out plans for a specific area?

Seeing them wandering around has made me rather excited as the idea of getting true fibre is amazing

I hope so, while my internet isn't exactly slow i'd give anything for gigabit speeds. Being able to download big files in minutes/seconds vs hours would be amazing.
