You should be looking to get 2 infrastructure providers in at the time of build. At least one of these should be open access to encourage future competition and value for money for residents.
Efforts should also be made to fill in the not spots in existing areas to get all of Sandwell connected to future proofed full fibre infrastructure.

The stats here are wrong. On 6/11/23 Sandwell has 51.58% coverage of full fibre, It has 92.28% gigabit coverage.
UK coverage is 58% FF coverage and 78% gigabit.
Please contact WM5G and myself if you want to source the most updated data.

This is not 5G and should be badged differently.
NGA Technology is the old fibre to the cabinet which supports superfast up to 30nb speeds. Full fibre is gigabit capable.
The HMG targets are 85% gigabit coverage by 2025 and 100% as soon after as possible this looks like 2030.
Again you need to look at multiple providers and open access networks to make sure residents get value for money.
Please contact WM5G for more in depth correspondence. We can support to get this written to drive growth in the area

You need to outline the point that digital connectivity is a must for all new developments. Society can not operate effectively without the right technology. The only way to remove the digital divide is to increase its reach and make it affordable for all.
