Answer
I can confirm that the additional 8,469 premises now included in Project Stratum, will be from postcode areas identified as eligible during the Project Stratum Open Market Review (OMR) and State aid Public Consultation. Therefore, as no additional postcodes will be included, my Department will not be publishing an updated list.
However, my Department can confirm information relating to the 8,469 additional premises, including deployment date, has been updated on the www.hyperfastni.com website. The contractor, Fibrus Networks, has also written to all of the premises which are being added to inform them of their inclusion. Please note premises may benefit prior to the date provided on the Hyperfast NI website, so my Department recommends citizens check the website regularly.
