Community Fibre Spotted Expanding FTTP Outside of London

London-focused broadband ISP CommunityFibre, which is deploying a multi-gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to cover 2.2 million premises by the end of 2024 (mostly in the UK’s capital city), has confirmed that its future build plan will stretch into parts of Hertfordshire, Essex and Surrey.

At present CommunityFibre have been clear that their full fibre network build remains predominantly in London and its boroughs, however they’ve informed ISPreview.co.uk that “there are some areas of Hertfordshire, Essex and Surrey that are within the M25 and in Community Fibre’s build plans“.

The news came after some of our readers (Credits to Jan and Mike) spotted their engineers in other locations, such as the Hertfordshire town of Bushey (e.g. Bushey Hall Road). We should point out that this appears to be separate from their other build via Box Broadband – a full fibre network that covers parts of Surrey and West Sussex in England (here), which harbours a “goal of delivering fibre to in excess of 250,000 homes by the end of 2024.”

The provider, which at the last update covered over 720,000 premises in the city (we haven’t had a progress update for a few months), tends to charge from £20 per month on a 24-month term for a 150Mbps (symmetric speed) package and that rises to just £49 per month for their top 3Gbps tier (£51 post contract). Many rivals will find that hard to beat.
