CityFibre has completed the primary build of its full fibre network in Wokingham.
The new network is now ready for service to more than 19,000 homes, around 82 per cent of Wokingham’s homes and most businesses. Wokingham is the latest town in CityFibre’s nationwide rollout.
Construction began on the £15 million project in 2022 and CityFibre has since laid more than 1,211km of dense full fibre infrastructure across the town. While the primary build is now complete, CityFibre will continue to explore opportunities to connect more homes and businesses, including flats, new-build homes, business parks and homes on private roads.
Residents in Wokingham can now receive affordable, gigabit-capable and reliable full fibre broadband from a range of ISPs including Vodafone, TalkTalk, Cuckoo, Zen and others. All homes passed by the network can schedule a full fibre installation within five working days of placing an order.
Neil Madle, partnership manager at CityFibre, said, “Our completed rollout in Wokingham represents an exciting leap forward for digital connectivity across the town. With the UK's top-tier digital infrastructure now in place, residents, businesses, and public institutions will benefit for generations to come.
“Wokingham is a town full of opportunity and ambition, making it a key project for us. Full fibre is essential to the long-term growth of the UK market, and we look forward to building on our success, driving the town's future economic development.”
