CityFibre is bringing "significantly superior and more reliable broadband service that is capable of Gigabit speeds' to Bury St Edmunds. The 'transformational' £8million project will reach almost every home and business and will put Bury in the top tier of all UK cities for connectivity. 

 

Charles Kitchin, CityFibre's manager for Bury St Edmunds said: "Full fibre connectivity and next generation broadband services will transform the lives of those in Bury St Edmunds. 

 

"This goes far beyond simply helping household access the latest entertainment at lightning speed. 

 

"The benefits are far deeper, from enabling smart home technology to giving people the freedom to work from home with ease.

 

"As well as enhancing our home lives, CityFibre's full fibre network will give the town's business community the platform they need to realise their growth ambitions. 

 

"By connecting properties at up to 1000Mbps, we're putting Bury firmly in the top tier of all UK cities for connectivity and establishing it as a global competitive digital destination."

 

CityFibre has partnered with Lite Access to deliver the construction programme and the work is underway in Eastgate ward. The firm is also working with surrounding communities to 'manage disruption and ensure 'a fast successful roll-out'.
