The Parish has been asked to raise awareness in the community of this service and was notified that over 80 premises have recently been enabled with Full Fibre broadband as part of the Rudyard exchange scheme. The premises in question are located in ST13 8RN, 8UX, 8RL, 8RW, 8RP and 8XB postcodes. Please Note: Not all premises in these postcodes are enabled, however suppliers will continue to build the network over the coming weeks and months.
A pledge site remains open Connect My Community (openreach.com), so people who haven’t pledged yet, but intend to order Full Fibre services soon, can pledge prior to ordering as this helps the supplier obtain the required funding.
The contractor appreciates that most people are unclear about the monthly costs once Full Fibre services become available so it would be worth reaching out to their Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see what packages are available. A lot of ISPs will upgrade their customers to Full Fibre at no additional charge once it becomes available so worth checking with them.
A link to a list of providers using our network is below.
