It is positive news that 71% of premises in the Horsham constituency now have access to ‘gigabit’ fibre broadband – a 10x increase on the 7% of premises in March 2019.
I am pleased that CityFibre have been awarded the Project Gigabit contract to bring gigabit-capable broadband to up to 6,800 hard-to-reach premises in the Horsham constituency. Construction is due to start on the first phase in the beginning of next year – I look forward to faster and more reliable connectivity for many of our rural homes and businesses.
I am continuing to push for faster connectivity to specific areas where plans could be amended to increase access.
