The County Council has sent us the following information.
Superfast broadband coverage in Headington
The majority of coverage in Headington has been delivered commercially with the Better Broadband programme having enabled superfast broadband already to most of the areas not covered commercially.
There is a small element of commercial coverage remaining for completion, specifically covering premises in OX3 9BQ, OX3 9DZ and OX3 9FR. There is also some additional work under the programme due for completion by the end of 2017. There are very few postcodes where there is no (or minimal) superfast coverage. Therefore, if there are premises not able to order superfast broadband, we would direct residents to our website and in particular, the final 4% page for further information on options available. The Better Broadband programme has also launched the co-funding scheme, which is detailed on the website.
Within a postcode, there are instances where some premises may not be able to order a superfast broadband product due to distance from a fibre enabled cabinet.
What if my property is still unable to get superfast broadband?
Further information is available on the Better Broadband website, specifically in the section titled Final 4%. In summary, the options are:
- self-funding
- co-funding (with help from OCC)
- wireless broadband (subsidy vouchers available, subject to eligibility)
- satellite broadband (subsidy vouchers available, subject to eligibility)
- 3G/4G mobile broadband
