The project to bring full fibre broadband to these areas (with download speeds of up to 900 Mbps) started on 8 July 2022 and was due to complete 12 months later. Some parts have been completed; some have not, so obviously the project as a whole is somewhat behind plan.
Here is the latest status report from BT / Openreach. When it says “Expected completion” expect a further unpredictable period of time for “quality checks”. Any queries / comments, please email HighWealdsuperfastbroadband@gmail.com
