All of this will also have to be balanced against the fact that Cityfibre will be competing against some existing ultrafast FTTP and G.fast based broadband services from Openreach (BT), as well as the wide coverage of Virgin Media’s now 500Mbps capable cable DOCSIS network. Cityfibre announced the start of its 1Gbps FTTH broadband rollout to some 800 homes and businesses across the city of Cambridge . The company , which works with ISP provider Vodafone , already operates a 44-km long Cambridge Dark ##net network in the city , which is used to connect local businesses and public access points and will help as a springboard for the new FTTH rollout . The £ 20 m ( $ 15 m ) project is due to be completed by the end of 2021 .
