Superfast Surrey has completed the main phase of its programme 82,000 additional homes and businesses are covered by the fibre broadband network. The roll out has been delivered at an amazing rate of nearly 200 homes and businesses per working day, transforming lives across the county, and making Surrey the best connected county in Britain. Latest information can now be found by visiting our website www.superfastsurrey.org.uk as this page will no longer be updated or monitored.
Surrey is best connected county
82,000 homes and businesses covered through programme
Superfast Surrey, a partnership between Surrey County Council and BT, today announced the completion of the main phase of its programme to bring fibre broadband to those areas in the county not included in commercial roll outs.
The partnership has extended the high-speed fibre broadband coverage to more than 82,000 homes and businesses across Surrey, making it currently the best connected county in Great Britain.
The news comes shortly after the Government announced the nationwide rollout has now reached more than 2 million homes and businesses.
Digital Economy Minister Ed Vaizey, said: "The Government's nationwide rollout of superfast broadband is already transforming lives across the UK and this is particularly the case in Surrey, Great Britain's best connected county. We're now focusing on taking coverage even further, ensuring even more of Surrey's homes and businesses will be enjoying access to superfast speeds."
Surrey County Council Deputy Leader Peter Martin said: “This roll out has been delivered at an amazing rate of nearly 200 homes and businesses per working day, transforming lives across the county, and making Surrey the best connected county in Britain.
"Whilst celebrating this achievement, I recognise that there is still work to do to reach those remaining premises located in the more technically challenging and harder to reach places of the county. This is not, therefore, the end of the story and as a council we would like to do more.
"To understand the full scope of the remaining challenge, we intend to run a further investigation known as an Open Market Review (OMR). The results will enable us to identify how to prioritise the use of any remaining funds to address issues of broadband coverage and speed across the county."
Bill Murphy, managing director next generation access at BT, said: “We have been working hard to get to this tremendous milestone achievement, which has seen the communications landscape completely transformed, on time and on budget, and we are keen to do even more.
“This project is boosting the local economy and helping to create and protect local jobs. Thanks to high-speed fibre broadband, companies like Yubico, can run its international operations from a 400 year-old house in one of Surrey’s oldest villages as easily as if in a high tech business park.”
In delivering the fibre broadband infrastructure the Superfast Surrey project has: • Laid around 250 miles of fibre optic cable, the distance between London and Middlesbrough. • Upgraded more than 30 rural telephone exchanges across the county to high speed fibre broadband. • Installed more than 600 green road-side cabinets and fibre structures. • Helped Surrey record the second highest take-up of fibre broadband in the country.

Superfast Surrey out & about
We recently attended and set up our stand at the Collaborate 2014 event which was being held at Sandown racecourse. There we met senior leaders and managers from across Surrey, Sussex and the South East to talk to them about the Superfast Surrey deployment across the County, and share the latest news and insights of the project. The programme for the event included inspirational speakers, a range of workshops and a marketplace – all focusing on collaborative working and the re-design of services.
Colleagues from BT’s local network business, Openreach joined us on the day arriving on site at Sandown racecourse in Esher in the Superfast Surrey branded van. This is a standard Openreach operational vehicle which will be seen out and about across Surrey as the engineers continue their work delivering and maintaining the fibre broadband network.
Recently the Superfast Surrey van caused quite a stir when it was parked close by the route used by local primary school children in Banstead. Ross the Openreach engineer who drives the vehicle explained – “The children were so interested in the street scene on the van, and insisted that their parents let them stop on the path so they could look at all the different illustrations. They were particularly fascinated to discover all of the characters and the little scenes which show the various ways in which fibre broadband can be used.”
Keep a look out for Ross and the Superfast Surrey van as he will be out and about across the county, continuing his work servicing and maintaining the fibre broadband network.
The highs and lows of all things fibre
The latest extract of 'John's journal' looking through the eyes of John Jauncey, one of our Superfast Surrey Openreach engineering delivery managers.
This month John and his team have been busy across the county as they continue to tackle some of the more remote and challenging jobs in the Superfast Surrey deployment.
Nestling under the North Downs in the Mole Valley district of Surrey is the village of Betchworth. The village centre is on the north bank of the River Mole and south of the A25 road and the locals have seen a flurry of activity as the final few premises are being connected to the Openreach fibre broadband network.
Connecting these final premises has required the installation of more than 800 metres of new aerial cable in the vicinity. Using specialist vehicles such as cherry pickers which have a jointed 'crane like' arm with a platform, engineers have been lifted up about 9 metres to enable them to work and reach the top of the poles. However, just connecting the cable to the poles is only part of the job, there also needs to be a link back to the fibre spine going back to the local telephone exchange. This has required trenches for the installation of over 210 metres of new ducting to be dug so that the fibre can be pulled through.
The planning and co-ordination for this work is a critical part of John's daily routine and he has spent many hours on the telephone arranging for teams of contractors as well as linking in with the various power companies, utilities and organising the traffic management that has been required.
But the planning can only go so far as John explains: "Completing the Superfast Surrey fibre installation in Betchworth has placed some extra demands on the team. We knew it would be challenging to install the new aerial cabling and ducting alone, but when it came to pushing the fibre cable through the existing ducting we found a number of additional problems. This has included manholes filled with mud and water as well as blockages in the duct and so we have had to bring in the gully suckers to help us progress the job. Luckily we have plentiful supplies of overalls and waders!"
With the majority of the work complete in Betchworth , which covers more than 2600 premises with the new fibre broadband network , John , his team and the specialist vehicles will now be moving on to concentrate on the remaining Superfast Surrey deployment
Christmas shopping is a breeze with fibre broadband
You can forget the panic buying of Black Friday that saw shoppers falling over themselves to start their Christmas shopping. For our Superfast Mum, everyday is a fibre broadband shopping day. Which means this year – more than any other - she’s totally in control this Christmas.
Thanks to her new fibre broadband connection, online shopping has never been easier. She’s made her way around the virtual high street browsing the very best shops and boutiques. She’s bagged bargains and great buys for the kids, hubby, grandparents and all her friends and relatives. Quite simply, it’s been a breeze.
And with the countdown to Christmas well and truly underway, she’s now turning her attention to buying her groceries online. After all, what’s the point of fighting your way around the supermarket and trying to find somewhere to park when it can all be done from the comfort of your living room?
For our Superfast Mum, superfast broadband has taken the hassle out of Christmas shopping. But there’s one thing fibre can’t do, and that’s help to answer the big question: will it be turkey or goose this Christmas?

Ready for the snow and ice this winter? Work from home…
As scientists are claiming an Arctic winter is on the horizon our Superfast family can stay safe and warm inside their home whilst still having access to information, anytime and anywhere. Fast connections have made flexible working a reality for many of us. In fact, it has been estimated that by 2015 there will be 1.3 billion mobile workers.
For our Superfast family, that’s great news. Whatever the weather, it means he can run his business from home, saving money by not needing to rent office space. With our Superfast Mum occasionally working from home too they both can enjoy a better work-life balance – fibre broadband helps make this possible.
When they need to connect and collaborate with their colleagues and customers, they use video conferencing. So they can visually interact with people in every corner of the world anytime. This also saves travel costs, especially when the transport networks grind to a halt with the snow and ice, and it is good for productivity, so it’s a win-win for workers and employers alike.
