Fibrus has embarked on a roll-out of FTTP in Northern Ireland with the aim of investing an initial £84 million into the roll-out.

Sky TV services have been supplied over fibre deployed by BUUK for a few years to new builds but Sky has now reached an agreement to be the anchor tenant for broadband on the network.

While the most of the village of Ascott under Wychwood had access to VDSL2 those who have gained most from the roll-out in the area are those in the outlying properties.

The race to roll-out full fibre networks and also getting the attention of the public is heating up but there is a danger of hype over taking reality.

The FTTP picture of the UK continues to improve with another small corner of England gaining access to Gigabit speeds.

Rolling out full fibre requires various bits of infrastructure to be deployed and CityFibre and Cubis Systems have signed an agreement with Cubis supplying various bits of hardware until December 2020.

In a survey of 2,000 people Zen Internet has identified the three most internet-hungry cities in the UK (Bristol, Sheffield and Manchester) and internet users in Glasgow and Southampton are the most stressed.

For £5 a month on top of your broadband bill you can now get a Wi-Fi speed guarantee of 3 Mbps from Sky, and a full refund if they are not able to deliver this in every room of your house.

The latest monthly analysis of results from our broadband speed test is now available, giving you the chance to see how the speeds you are getting compare to others on the same product and ISP.

Vodafone customers look to have felt a pinch on their broadband connections on Sunday 1st September and no doubt are hoping that someone will have punched the network subsequently into better condition.
