IF THE Royals ever need a lap of honour, they would do well to contact full fibre internet firm CityFibre.
The company has laid a staggering 340km (211 miles) of full fibre internet beneath the streets of the town, or enough to lap the Select Car Leasing Stadium 982 times.
The mammoth operation is part of a £58m plan to future-proof Reading’s digital connectivity.
Neil Madle, CityFibre’s Partnership Manager for Reading, said: “The full fibre laid beneath streets of Reading represents great progress in our roll out. We’re well on our way to making the town world-class in terms of its digital infrastructure, and residents will reap the benefits for decades to come.
“With our network now live across many parts of the town, there’s an opportunity for more people in the community to connect to the fastest and most reliable broadband services available.”
Reading is one of a growing number of locations in the UK to benefit from CityFibre’s nationwide full fibre rollout, which will bring new and improved broadband infrastructure within reach of up to eight million UK homes and businesses.
CityFibre’s goal is to provide residents with a competitive choice of providers.
In Reading, customers can sign up to UK launch partner, Vodafone, on selected Vodafone Pro Broadband plans, as well as TalkTalk, Giganet and Zen, with other providers expected to join the network soon.
