City Fibre have had most of the streets up around here this year to put in fibre. Both sides of every street. it took about 2 days outside our house.
They are not ISP themselves but there are currently 13 ISPs offering a service on the new fibre. I could already get it now if I wanted and the digging up was during April (I think). At the moment I pay Virgin £44 for a 250Mbps connection with their basic TV 100+ channel package*. One of the new providers offers 150Mbps for £25 but I'd have to take the plunge and move to getting my TV through the Firestick or Freesat or something, which is a lot less convenient that the TiVo. The time will come though...
* To be fair, Virgin wanted £68 last year and I managed to swing a deal for 18 months @£44. I'm expecting to renew somewhere around the same price point in July when the 18 months is up.
