Construction work on the full fibre network in Maidstone will begin in January. Anne Krausse, area manager, will be responsible for overseeing the project, while also acting as the main point of contact for all stakeholders.
Krausse explained, “Our new full fibre network in Maidstone will strengthen the town’s digital infrastructure for decades to come, helping boost the local economy. The technology will not only unlock huge benefits for businesses, it will also allow residents to enjoy seamless streaming when gaming or watching movies at home.
“We’re excited for our builders to get to work on the installation, and for the local community to reap the benefits of full fibre technology.”
Derek Murphy, Kent County Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development, added, “We welcome this investment in Kent’s broadband infrastructure. We look forward to seeing the benefits it will bring for our residents and businesses.”
In Maidstone, services will be available from a range of broadband providers. Elsewhere in the UK, CityFibre is working with launch partner Vodafone to supply full fibre infrastructure for customers on selected Vodafone Pro Broadband plans, while TalkTalk, IDNet, Giganet, Zen and other providers are expected to join the network soon.
