More than 30,000 homes and businesses will now be able to access faster and more reliable fibre broadband.

CityFibre has announced that Eastbourne will receive a digital upgrade as part of a nationwide rollout.

The company has recently completed installation for several areas in the town, most recently Sovereign Harbour, Friday Street and Langney. The rollout will now move into Meads, Roselands and further parts of Old Town.

Adrian Smith, CityFibre’s partnership manager for East Sussex, said: “Our Eastbourne build is at an exciting stage as even more residents are now able to take advantage of unparalleled digital connectivity. 

“We are grateful to the local community for their continued support and patience whilst we roll out this huge digital upgrade."

Full fibre networks use 100 per cent fibre optics to carry data at light-speed all the way to and from your home and are more reliable than legacy copper-based broadband.
