Opticomm are laying the fibre to the premise on eligible properties.

Project progress for quarter one 2023/24:

• Milestone 3 – July 2023 Headend Completion – There has been a delay with this milestone due to unforeseen developer activities on the site of the Headend installation.  Opticomm are in direct communication with the developer with planned progress and timeframe for the Headend completion to work in with the developer's timeframes.  Planned completion date is November 2023.  It has been confirmed that this will not delay the entire project deadline as all other work is being completed parallel to this work. With the headend upgrade there will be a network outage of around 2,500 properties. Opticomm will handle the communications with affected residents during affected periods.  This upgrade needs to occur during work hours due to the very high risk nature of the work needing to be done in daylight hours. The project in on track for civil completion by end of October 2023. Fibre deployment will occur all in one go for efficiency.
