Ofcom to Help BT Fibre Rollout Reach 3.2 Million Rural Premises.
Ofcom has proposed to change their UK regulation as a result of Openreach’s (BT) recent commitment to extend their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network to a further 3.2 million rural properties, which will allow the operator to include these investment costs in its prices upfront. Haslemere is included in the programme.
I advise of some impending utility works on Hindhead Road, at the Junctions with Tilford Road, Portsmouth Road, London Road Hindhead.
The works are using off peak multi-way temporary signals
These works are being carried out by BT and are to gain safe access to underground BT footway and carriageway boxes for fibre cabling and jointing work in existing duct. This is required for a new customer connection.
These works are due to take place from for the 28/01/16 for approximately 1 day.
