Fibre Broadband For Derbyshire

12 August 2013 by Superfast Broadband

Derbyshire County Council has signed a £27.67 million contract to bring fibre broadband to more than 95% of homes and businesses in Derbyshire by the end of 2016.

New! To check on the latest availability of superfast and ultrafast broadband in your area, and to view the best deals, use the postcode checker on our Broadband Deals page.

BT is contributing £12.87m to the project while Derbyshire County Council is contributing £4.9m. A further £7.4m is coming from the Government’s BDUK funds as well as £2.5m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

BT Openreach will now begin the work on the ground with engineers surveying locations around the county and analysing the best way to roll out the network. There will be a phased approach to the roll-out, with the first areas predicted to be upgraded in 2014.
