Please see below update from Julian Cowans, Cornwall
Development Company regarding the fiber broadband rollout for Bridge
'In terms of the build to Bridge, as some of you will be aware we had
managed to bring the build forward rather than wait until the main work of the
DEFRA funded contract extension happens next year. Openreach tell me that the
build is progressing well and they expect to have completed this by Xmas. There
is one small access problem we need to try and resolve, but this affects just
one property.
Once the build and testing has been completed there will be a
commissioning phase which usually takes 2-4 weeks, and is outside of the
control of the local build team. My best estimate is therefore that the area
will be ready to order in January, barring any unforeseen circumstances,
although the team are working to try and complete asap.
For information the scheme is wider than just the business park
and covers a total of 100 addresses, mainly within the following postcodes:
TR16 4HY, TR16 4QE, TR16 4QG, TR16 4QL, TR16 4QP, TR16 4QQ, TR16 4QW
Please note that the boundaries of postcode areas do not neatly align with the
way the network deployment needs to happen. So once an area has been enabled,
it is not necessarily true that all the premises in the postcode will
experience an improvement in broadband speeds.
