Superfast
fibre broadband has arrived at the Northampton Waterside Enterprise Zone more
than three months early.
Northamptonshire
County Council and BT have announced that three of eight new roadside fibre
broadband cabinets planned for the enterprise zone are now ‘live’ – thanks to
the multi-million pound Superfast Northamptonshire project.
Openreach,
BT’s local network business which is installing the fibre network for the
County Council, is pressing ahead with the engineering works. When this phase
of work is completed later this year, it’s anticipated that the new ‘fibre to
the cabinet’ technology will be available to more than 180 premises in the
enterprise zone, many of which are businesses.
