UK broadband provider Gigaclear's fibre-to-the-premises plan has been rejected by Gloucestershire and Herefordshire councils – which operate as Fastershire in telecom talks – amid calls for "further refinement". It follows delays last year to schemes in Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Fastershire, Devon and Somerset that were linked to Gigaclear's old management team. A revised deployment plan was received in November 2018 but the plan needs to be refined further including the implications associated with bringing a number of properties that are currently not in any plan, into the contract before the full schedule is published. The plans would have seen the company build a new fibre network from existing copper lines into homes and businesses.
