Bournemouth is the first city in the UK to become a fibrecity.. And if you live or work in Bournemouth then be prepared to experience a communication revolution!

Being a Fibrecity means that Bournemouth is moving into a new world, offering its residents, businesses and organisations the opportunity to improve their communication facilities and networks. by getting faster . much much faster.  To see a demo of how it will affect you click here.

By installing a network of fibre optic cables across the city, using the waste water network, Bournemouth will be able to access FTTH (Fibre to the home), the fastest way of sending and receiving data. This means you can download faster, send and receive faster, and open your home to a wealth of communication opportunities to improve your life and your environment.

Bournemouth has already taken the first step onto the FTTH (Fibre to the home) platform and has the vision to move forward.

Bournemouth Council saw a need to link up the Town Hall and the Bournemouth International Centre. They required a low cost solution, with unlimited bandwidth. They turned to H2O Networks, the people who are helping cities to become Fibrecities.

Fibre was placed into the waste water network, beneath the central town park, avoiding costly and disruptive digging, and preserving the park for the community, and just a week later the link was operational.

Bob Rhodes, IT Manager, Bournemouth Borough Council:

"In partnership with H2O Networks we are making a tremendous cost saving, meaning that we can put Council Tax payers money to better use. Using the sewer network is also a more environmentally friendly way to lay the fibre optic cable, and it makes sense to utilise the existing sewer network that's right under our noses."
