One of the most ambitious housing developments in the UK and we’re making it Ultrafast
We’ve secured an amazing opportunity as part of our commitment to deliver Ultrafast speeds to 12 million premises by 2020.
Barking Riverside, on the northern banks of the Thames, is a new development and is the biggest contract Openreach has secured since launching our commitment to deliver Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology to 99% of New Sites (with 30+ premises).
Working in partnership with the Home Builders Federation and government, Openreach will provide Ultrafast broadband to 10,500 new properties, which includes a mix of family housing, apartments, schools, retail, community and leisure facilities. This site is the largest of 9,877 new housing developments totalling more than 240,000 new premises across the UK which benefit from FTTP.
Infrastructure Delivery MD, Kim Mears said: 'We’re really pleased to be involved in what is one of the most ambitious and important developments in the UK. This major investment in Ultrafast broadband reflects our commitment to ensuring the UK has a first class network.'
