BT have won both the Superfast Northamptonshire contract, which used the BDUK Framework, and the open tendered Connecting Cambridgeshire contract which includes Peterborough.
Hopefully this will maximise the chances of the Wansford Exchange getting Fibre to the Cabinet and other services in due course. Northamptonshire still have their parish survey running until the end of September 2013.
Meanwhile I've seen several users in Wansford with download speeds well into double figures of Mbits/s using BT 21CN services, and my own line at 2.5 km length can manage a whisper over 10M.
Recently we've had Vtesse trench their fibre-optic ducting through Wansford, Kingscliffe and Nassington. They are building an extension to their fibre network to connect up a commercial customer - believed to be a bank. With some imagination the duct could feed high speed connections into our area, but Vtesse have opted out of the retail market. The multicore duct can handle multiple fibres and each fibre can handle multiple wavelengths, so the data capacity of this ducting is practically infinite.
