RE: Councils close to signing "Superfast Broadband" contract with BT
Finally had a reply from "SuperFast South Yorkshire" as follows:-
Quote:The Superfast South Yorkshire programme is separate from any commercial activity and exists to plug the gap where the commercial market either has not or does not intent to invest in superfast broadband, we are keen to ensure that no one gets left behind digitally. The programme funding will be used to make areas currently deemed as not commercially viable, commercially viable. Lots of words, and lots of figures, but no "real" information other than the program is already behind schedule as roll out was initially expected this Summer! (new website though!)

I had a reply from David Oliver at the council, bit different to your reply essenby, but same link;
Quote:The project is progressing well and the best way of keeping up to date is now through the website which is starting to be developed. |

I've just received confirmation that properties outside the city centre boundary but served by Sheffield exchange will be included in the BDUK rollout.
I'll post the full email when I get home. |

Here is the email.. They say cabinets but I assume they mean cabinets outside the boundary but connected to Sheffield exchange.
I've sent another email to get clarity. Quote:The Superfast South Yorkshire programme is separate from any commercial activity and exists to plug the gap where the commercial market either has not or does not intent to invest in superfast broadband, we are keen to ensure that no one gets left behind digitally. The programme funding will be used to make areas currently deemed as not commercially viable, commercially viable. |

A little bit more clarity for those interested;
Quote:To clarify – all premises within our intervention area post codes are eligible regardless of where the infrastructure lies. |

http://www.superfastsouthyorkshire.co.uk has been updated. No post code checker but there is a map showing what year they aim for various areas.
