Hyperoptic Plans 1-Gig FTTH in London

LONDON -- Hyperoptic, the UK's leading fibre-to-the-home services provider, today announces it is succeeding in its objective to create its own fibrehood in London, having signed over thirty of the most significant property developments across the Capital with its hyper-fast 1 Gig broadband solution.

Hyperoptic offers a quantum leap from the "last mile" compromise of copper wiring with its fibre-to-the-home proposition, enabling a 1 Gig, 1000 Mbps symmetric service, the fastest residential broadband speed in the UK - 10 times the speed of the nearest major competitor and over 100 times faster than today's average broadband.

Hyperoptic has also passed its first milestone, reaching over 10,000 homes across 12 London boroughs, which include: Barnet, Croydon, Greenwich, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Newham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth and Westminster.

By the end of 2012, Hyperoptic predicts it will have serviced 20,000 homes, 100 major property developments and, in the next five years, it forecasts that its 1 Gig connection will be available to over half a million homes.
