Community Full Fibre Build @ EX16 & TA4

This network is being financed using Rural Gigabit Connectivity Vouchers from the Government, but can only be built with your support and engagement.  You can find more information about the Rural Gigabit Vouchers by clicking the logo below. 

To expand the network we require demand from the communities.

Benefits of Full Fibre

The proposed network will included Full Fibre Optic cabling directly to your property, with no Openreach or BT Line required. With Full Fibre we can offer packages such as these below examples.

With Fibre Optic, the speed or signal doesn’t decrease with distance, you get what you pay for 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

Once connected you can replace your copper landline with a Voice service over Fibre – often saving you considerable value on your monthly costs.

Other Options

What other options are available?

Currently Connecting Devon & Somerset have no plans in the area and while Gigaclear had been planning on building around Skilgate, Upton and Waterrow, but this contract has been cancelled after falling several years behind schedule.

The government proposed a Universal Service Obligation guaranteeing a 10Mbps basic broadband service from 2020, but this will be delivered using 4G Wireless from EE and is not comparable to a true Full Fibre connection.

We can only build this network using the Gigabit Voucher Scheme and can only build the area once, so for the scheme to progress we will require pre-order contracts, but we will build and have connections live within 90 days subject to the weather, we only receive funding from the Government when your service is live.
