The firm said that it is extending networks into Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.

I don't want to know the price, seeing as its business-class.

Cityfibre is the company that worked with Sky & TalkTalk to build the 1000 mb network in York. As Sky has offices in Sheffield I expect some news in the future about a similar network here.

RE: CityFibre extend network to SY with £90m KCOM deal
At £299 ex VAT for 100Mbit, £499 for Gigabit, (paid annually on a 3 year contract) that's a bit more than £35/month. WinkThey are basically leased lines with a 1:1 contention ratio.

Quote:With 15 km of "dark fibre" in Sheffield it partnered with ISP, ASK4.

I'm getting some serious de-ja-vu here.

Quote:CityFibre has joined with the likes of Virgin Media and Zayo (who purchased South Yorkshire assets from the failed Digital Region project) to oppose Ofcom's proposals to allow providers to access BT's "dark fibre" lines.

That stings. So Zayo are doing sweet FA with the majority of the fibre they bought but they are opposed to letting providers use BT's fibre?

Its all rather confusing as why are TalkTalk/Sky not partnering with Zayo then if they already have fibre in the ground?
