UK company Fibrecity, which is constructing Fibre-to-the-Home networks in selected sites across the nation, has exposed that it now intends to build FTTH networks capable of speeds of up to 100 Mbps in Derby, Halton, Nottingham, Plymouth and York, and that it is planning to begin building the networks within the subsequent 12 months.

Additionally, the corporation also stated that it is taking into consideration about building super-fast broadband networks in Belfast, Aberdeen, Ipswich, Bristol and Birmingham.

If it goes forward with these plans, then Fibrecity hopes that by 2014 it will have connected 1mn British houses and trades to its FTTH networks.

Elfed Thomas, Chief Executive of Fibrecity's parent company i3 Group said that today marks one more important step ahead in the company's mission to bring open next-generation internet connectivity to houses across the UK.

The corporation has up till now been making use of drain ducts, in order to build out its FTTH networks, though a declaration sent lately by i3 Group to news website ZDNet has expressed that the corporation may shun its present move toward favoring the usage of existing ducts and micro-trenching.

BT in the meantime has indicated a readiness to split its existing ducts with entrants for example Fibrecity.
