CityFibre Peterborough: Full Fibre for Business
CityFibre has built a full fibre network across Peterborough, giving local businesses access to gigabit-capable FTTP broadband independent of BT Openreach. Business FTTP over CityFibre in Peterborough costs approximately £35–£75 per month, with speeds up to 1Gbps through partner ISPs.
Matt Cannon
Managing Director
Peterborough is one of the UK cities where CityFibre has invested significantly in full fibre infrastructure. The company's network in Peterborough offers businesses a modern, gigabit-capable alternative to BT Openreach, with coverage extending across the city centre, established commercial areas and business parks. For businesses in Peterborough, this creates genuine choice in the broadband market.
CityFibre Coverage in Peterborough
CityFibre's Peterborough network covers a substantial portion of the city's commercial footprint. Coverage is strongest in:
- Peterborough city centre (PE1, PE2)
- Key commercial and retail areas
- Business parks including Queensgate, Lakeside and surrounding areas
- Expanding coverage into wider business and mixed-use districts
As with all CityFibre deployments, availability at a specific Peterborough address should be confirmed by checking your postcode directly. AMVIA checks CityFibre coverage alongside BT Openreach, Virgin Media Business and leased line carriers in a single availability check.
Available Speed Tiers in Peterborough
ISPs using CityFibre's Peterborough infrastructure typically offer business FTTP at the following speeds:
- FTTP 150Mbps: Up to 150Mbps download / 30Mbps upload — for smaller offices
- FTTP 500Mbps: Up to 500Mbps download / 75Mbps upload — for medium-sized offices
- FTTP 900Mbps–1Gbps: Gigabit-class connectivity for larger or more demanding operations
Full fibre delivers consistent speeds that FTTC cannot match. Because CityFibre runs fibre all the way to the premises rather than relying on copper for the final section, the performance you get is not affected by how far you are from the street cabinet.
Pricing for Peterborough Businesses
CityFibre-based business broadband in Peterborough on 24-month contracts typically costs:
- 150Mbps FTTP: £35–£50/month
- 500Mbps FTTP: £45–£65/month
- 1Gbps FTTP: £60–£80/month
Peterborough has both CityFibre and BT Openreach FTTP present across significant portions of its commercial areas. Competition between networks benefits businesses, and comparing both is worthwhile before committing to a contract.
Peterborough Business Sectors and Connectivity
Peterborough's economy includes manufacturing, logistics, professional services, retail and a growing technology sector. Many of these industries have expanded their reliance on cloud connectivity over the past decade — Microsoft 365, hosted phone systems, cloud-based ERP and CRM platforms are standard in modern SME operations, and they all consume broadband consistently throughout the working day.
Full fibre FTTP handles these workloads comfortably at the 150–500Mbps tier for most Peterborough SMEs. For larger operations or those where internet reliability is genuinely mission-critical, a dedicated leased line provides a further step up with guaranteed bandwidth and a strong SLA.
Getting Connected via CityFibre in Peterborough

AMVIA manages this process for business clients — checking availability, comparing ISP options and managing the connection from order through to go-live, so the process is handled without consuming your own team's time.
