    Full fibre broadband rolled out in new parts of Harrogate

    Thousands of homes and businesses in Harrogate have just been connected to full fibre-enabled broadband services

    Fibre optic company CityFibre said yesterday it had made homes in reach of its network in Bilton, Woodlands, Rossett Green, Pannal, Valley Gardens and New Park 'ready for service', which means people can choose to connect to full fibre-enabled broadband services.

    CityFibre is investing £46 million on upgrading connectivity Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon.

    The rollout is due to be completed in Harrogate this year and will mean almost every home and business locally will have access to full fibre services from a range of internet service providers. The rollout is also now progressing into new areas in Ripon.

    Kim Johnston, CityFibre area manager said:

    “Our rollout to date has helped transform Harrogate and Ripon’s digital capabilities for both residents and businesses, making them some of the best-connected towns in Britain. We have almost finished in Harrogate and just have a small amount left to do along Otley Road.
    “Digital infrastructure has become the cornerstone of modern day-life, and the people we have spoken to say they are already reaping the benefits of lightning fast and more reliable broadband."


    Unlike copper-based fibre broadband services, full fibre networks use 100% fibre optic infrastructure to carry data at lightning speed from the home to the point of connection.

    This gives users consistently faster speeds for upload and download and near limitless bandwidth.

    Construction is being delivered by Makehappen Group on behalf of CityFibre.
