15,000 Extra Premises in the Tees Valley to Get Superfast Broadband

Quote
The Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) has announced that a new deal will result in more than 15,000 extra homes and businesses around the North East of England being put within reach of a “superfast broadband” (24Mbps+) capable network by the end of 2018.

A few months ago the joint £34 million Digital Durham project with Openreach (BT), which includes Gateshead, Sunderland and the Tees Valley area, successfully completed (here) its original goal of ensuring that 98% of local premises were covered by a “fibre broadband” (FTTC/P) network (note: 96% able to receive speeds of 24Mbps+).

On top of that a second £9m Superfast Extension Programme (SEP) contract already exists, which is just starting its deployment and aims to reach an additional 29,000 premises or 97% coverage of “superfast broadband” by December 2018. However there’s been a strong desire to go even further in the Tees Valley area.
