So is anyone actually connected yet?
It really shouldn't take 3-6 months to do a single postcode, you're looking at an insane length of time to do Bournemouth if that's the case.

Our funding is kept private from us so I would not be able to divulge this information, however I do know that funding is not a problem and from what I can gather the company has the backing and funding to help it grow as much as it is able to.
The fact is that noone in the UK is investing as much in infrastructure in the UK as Fibrecity and we intend to continue to rollout Fibrecity to as much of the UK as possible as long as helping to implement our technology across the world via our International department.
There should hopefully be a lot more to come and Fibrecity should continue to grow and become a household name.
Keep the questions coming guys.

With all due respect Paul, 2 - 4 cities a year and you haven't connected a single home in a 'fibrecity' yet. Yes your tech is certainly useful and presents an alternative to standard construction techniques, I think some of it's been done in Sweden before, and is well worth running.
It'd be good to see some actual progress, some construction work, some homes being serviced, any timescale on when you'll be connecting your first residents?
Any news on who the ISPs available to people will be as well?

The fibre will be laid beneath the streets of Bournemouth from September 2008 onwards.
