The village of Thrussington is connected to cabinet 1 of the Rearsby exchange. This cabinet is planned to be upgraded as part of Phase 1 of the Superfast Leicestershire project and expected to go live by the end of March 2016. The cabinet which serves the village\u2019s homes and businesses is located in Thrussington village itself so many premises will be able to achieve superfast speeds of 24Mbps.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The village of Seagrave is served by cabinet 5 of the Sileby exchange. The village is planned to be covered as part of Phase 2 of the Superfast Leicestershire programme. Deployment is expected between late 2016 and autumn 2018. The local project team are working closely with BT and BDUK to accelerate the delivery.<\/p>
<\/p>
Details of the current coverage plans and timetable for homes and businesses in Leicestershire are available from the Superfast Leicestershire project team, although the details will be subject to change during the planning and survey stages. These can be found at: www.superfastleicestershire.org.uk<\/a> which includes a 'When and Where' page linked to an interactive map.<\/p>"}
