Broadband delivery in the Fawler cabinet area
The Connecting West Oxfordshire project* is underway and we are making good progress on bringing ultrafast broadband to properties that currently have little or no internet access.
Work is scheduled to continue up until the end of 2018. Below is what will happen during this time and we would be grateful if you could share this information with parish councillors.
Installing the network and making good afterwards
This will involve digging up pavements and roads as Gigaclear installs the full fibre cabling along with connection points outside the boundary of every property. All residents and businesses will be informed as soon as their connection is ready and can take full advantage of ultrafast speeds.
Everything disrupted by the installation will be reinstated to Highways Authorities and Utilities Committee standards.
Keeping you informed
Gigaclear would be happy to attend a parish meeting to explain more about the rollout.

*Connecting West Oxfordshire sees West Oxfordshire District Council and the Government’s broadband agency BDUK invest £3.1m between them with rural broadband specialist Gigaclear adding a further £5m. Gigaclear is additionally investing in a further extension to their network which may be in areas that already have superfast broadband from another supplier but where Gigaclear can see a commercial return to cover their investment. This extra build is outside the Connecting West Oxfordshire project.
