SUPERFAST BROADBAND UPDATE As we start 2013, I’m please to advise that things are continuing to progress well with regard to the superfast broadband rollout in Cheshire. In December, the Connecting Cheshire project formally invited tenders from BT and Fujitsu and one of these is expected to be chosen as the preferred network partner in March. Funding is also going well and £22M of the required £40M for the project has now been secured. The chosen partner will be expected to provide the balance of this funding as part of the procurement process. I am assured that recent reports of EU broadband budget cuts will have no effect on the project in Cheshire, which is great news. Starting shortly, detailed planning will begin in order to determine the most effective deployment of the new network. This will provide a clearer picture of the project’s ‘where and when’ status by summer 2013. The anticipated deployment will run in a series of phases from autumn 2013 to summer 2015, primarily via a ‘fibre to the cabinet’ solution. This involves installing fibre-optic cables from local telephone exchanges to new roadside cabinets, thus enabling a significant uplift in speeds of up to 80Mbps. Connections from the cabinets to homes and businesses will continue to be made with copper wires as they are today and this approach will bring superfast broadband to over 90% of Cheshire homes and businesses by 2015. Of course, until we see the detailed plans in the summer we can’t guarantee that our villages will be covered but fingers crossed! There are certainly large areas of the county that are harder to reach than ours, so I think we can allow ourselves to be moderately optimistic. In addition to the standard copper connections, ‘On demand’ (i.e. additional cost) fibre connections direct to premises will also become available as the network is extended, enabling speeds of up to 300Mbps. Just to remind you that all the latest information as well as some useful links can be found on the website at www.ollertonwithmarthall.org.uk/broadband. As news comes in I’ll do my best to keep the website up to date so please check for updates periodically. Neil Hanlon Why not pay us a visit?
