Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) is terminating five contracts with Gigaclear for delivery of full-fibre broadband in Devon and Somerset. The company has been awarded the contract to deliver a maximum speed of 100Mbps on its network across Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Devon. The decision follows significant delays with the roll out of the service, related to previous failings and the collapse of Carillion in early 2018. This saw Gigaclear placed on default notice and public subsidy withheld while it attempted to produce a recovery plan.
