Wildanet has informed us that it wishes to withdraw from fully completing the build on two contracts covering southwest and central Cornwall (Lots 32.02 and 32.03). Wildanet has successfully covered around 13,200 premises to date under these contracts but will no longer deliver to the remaining 7,700 contracted premises. 

BDUK is now moving swiftly to put in place alternative plans with other suppliers to connect premises that were due to be covered by these contracts.

Further information about Project Gigabit can be found on the BDUK website and under Project Gigabit: UK Subsidy advice.
