In just six days we have seen the CityFibre footprint jump by 9,000 premises with more premises covered in Southend, Milton Keynes and Coventry.

We have mapped the roll-out of FTTP by KCOM in Driffield, with other areas such as Market Weighton and Nafferton expected to follow.

The villages of Manuden and Ugley Green in Essex now have full fibre from the Gigaclear roll-out.

The full fibre network built by CityFibre and currently sold by Vodafone under the Gigafast brand has seen its first areas go live in Edinburgh.
