Eastbourne
Work to transform Eastbourne into one of the world’s best digitally connected towns, is well underway. CityFibre has invested £26million to build a full fibre network throughout Eastbourne. This work is part of CityFibre’s wider commitment to replace the UK’s dated copper-based networks with gigabit-capable fibre connectivity. The project is expected to deliver millions in economic benefits, bolster productivity & innovation and enable the roll-out of 5G mobile services throughout Eastbourne.
Councillor David Tutt, Leader of Eastbourne Borough Council, has said of the project: “The Covid-19 pandemic has put the importance of a high-speed digital infrastructure in sharp focus. It is integral to the vibrancy and growth of local economies and I welcome the rollout of this technology in the town.”
