MEET THE GIGABYTES

Project Gigabit is looking to extend gigabit capable broadband speeds to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025.

Approximately 80% of coverage is expected to be achieved by commercial rollouts, which leaves the new project to focus on the final 20% of rural and semi-rural areas (approx. 71,000 premises in Staffordshire).

Staffordshire has an estimated procurement date of Autumn 2023, with a commencement date of Summer 2024.
