Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

hehe, i had a fresh fibrecity leaflet through my door this morning asking me to sign up. It must be the 5th one i have filled out so far :P

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Any news updates ?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Ditto - FibrecityBmouth's gone worryingly quiet

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Last i heard was that they STILL had no ISP

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

One ISP that was on the books apparently pulled out due to the rollout being at a slower pace than they wished for.

Just something I heard.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I have heard things as well ;)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

what was the ISP on the books then ?

Sky ? Be/O2 ETC?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Has anyone heard anything about anything?

Since it's been nearly 4 months since we last heard from fibrecity, we're 2 months past the estimated install date for my postcode and Paul's no longer responding to PMs I'm guessing it's all gone belly up and may not happen?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I went to the air show a couple of weeks ago and cornered a sales lady about the subject at her stall. She couldn't answer the pricelist and ISP questions i asked. Personally it feels like they are going to sell all our details to the highest bidder or will roll it out partially run out of money and it will collapse!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

last i heard they announced that they were going to be rolling out fibre through the sewers in Ireland.

would of been nice if they could finish there first project. seems all talk!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Sky were certainly involved at some point.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

looks like a good sign, the website has finally been updated:

http://www.fibrecity.eu/

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Indeed, once one sifts through the marketing guff about self-service portals there does seem to be a positive there:

This seems a huge positive, and about time too! Looks as though they are taking the approach of having all SPs services in one page and customers pick from them, rather than wholesaling access to the fibre at bitstream level as BT are and 'binding' your fibre link to a provider.

Hi Guys,

Sincere apologies for my non-posting for a while! I have been so busy I have not had time to post as well as being out of the office a lot more recently. However I will be making every effort to regularly post from today!

As someone pointed out the website has now been updated, and although there is still a lot of work to be done and changes to be made I hope that you will find some of the information on this site useful.

Re: Service Providers. We do have some details of the first providers but as mentioned on the site, and indeed the quote from Broadbandings, we are unable to divulge names right now. As soon as we have the go ahead this information will be on the site and I will post details here.

The video at this link (for those who haven't seen it) may proof useful as it contains quite a bit of information:

For those who haven't read the latest press release (from a couple of days ago):

http://www.fibrecity.eu/news.php

The installs in the BH11 area will be starting within the next couple of weeks or so and although this has taken longer than we would have liked please be assured that we are very much still on track to be completed in Bournemouth by early 2011. With any new project there are issues to overcome, however we are still 100% progressing and we are all excited about the project.

I know I have been away for some time so...any questions, fire them at me. As always I will do my best to answer questions for you but I cannot also give full details at this moment in time.

I look forward to hearing your comments/questions/feedback,

Paul

Paul,

do something about your website, please - if you scroll up and down, it jumps like a jumpy thing that just won jump of the year (and no, it is not my connection - I am on a JANET link at work, and I have a constant 83Mb down, and 65Mb up).
