Exmouth 1Gb Fibre Network

Some more detail from Jurassic Fibre -

Our current plans are to start building the network in the forth quarter of 2019 targeting Exmouth and reaching it by year end. In terms of Exmouth itself, we currently expect to build at a rate of 1000-2000 premises a month with service being offered as soon as the network in a one area is tested. Overall it will take 12-18 months to complete.

In terms of when the network will reach you, that really depends on where you are located and on the initial assessment of interest across the area. So for example if we were approached by a number of residents of a specific area in all probability we would look to prioritise building the network in that part of town at an earlier part of the cycle.

There will be more detail from Jurassic on the Exmouth build in a couple of months.

Let’s hope that farmer doesn’t plough right to the edge of his field .... that’s be Exmouth plunged into an Internet abyss.

Ploughs don't go very deep ...

Probably didn't read that they used a chain trencher and just looked at the picture saw the small amount of spoil and assumed the trench was relatively shallow. In reality was probably in the region of ~50cm deep and 5cm wide. So you could easily put some 40mm ducting at the bottom of that which could easily take some duct grade fibre. I was looking at some this morning left behind by contractors in one of the data centres at work (they are all lazy like that end up with 20m of cable/fibre on the end of a drum and they just dump it all in patch rooms and data centres). Anyway about the diameter of your pinky for 24 single mode cores according to the writing on the side. That is a lot and I mean a lot of bandwidth.

Exmouth has just got G.fast too!

Only parts of it have.

Some say the river Exe is made completely from my tears from living in Exminster looking across the river and seeing the 1gb fibre network going down lol.
