Essex County Council has called a meeting to discuss challenges facing Gigaclear's rollout of Fibre-to-the-Premises broadband networks in the county. As a result some areas have been told that they may have to wait an extra 2 years on top of what was previously planned. The ISP provider is at the centre of numerous reports of delays stretching up to two years on similar government-backed contracts around the UK. The problems have been blamed on a lack of contractor capacity resulting from the collapse of pubic service outsourcing company Carillon, as well as management and planning issues. In an email sent to members last week, the council said it was "aware that there are issues with GigaPower which may affect its ability to deliver services for our customers".
