........... another snippet from our CEO's latest message to his employees.
"I’d like share more information on G.fast, my perspective on our performance in Openreach and how we are progressing in Building Britain’s Connected Future. First, G.fast. I’m pleased to say that Openreach will be offering homes and small businesses access to amazing speeds which we expect up to 500Mbit/s within the next ten years. There are also plans to develop a premium fibre broadband service for those residential and business customers who want even faster broadband of up to 1Gbit/s. I believe this will open up a world of new opportunities for our customers and highlights our commitment to build Britain’s connected future.
We will be conducting two large-scale pilots of G.fast technology. One in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, and another in Gosforth, Newcastle. Both will start this summer and around 4,000 homes and businesses will be able to participate. Both trials aim to explore what speeds can be delivered using G.fast at scale. We will be working closely with our CP customers to firm up dates and plans over the coming months. I’m looking forward to the next chapter in our fabulous fibre story, and we will be providing regular updates to you."
