Superfast South Yorkshire

Superfast South Yorkshire (SFSY) is a partnership of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Local Authorities. It was established to help deliver faster broadband to areas where it had not been commercially viable to invest and raise awareness of the availability of superfast broadband.

The first phase of our roll-out was delivered in partnership with Openreach and completed in September 2019. It saw almost £27m funding invested to reach an additional 95,000 premises with superfast broadband.

The second phase is currently in delivery and has brought gigabit capable broadband on the Openreach network to an additional 5,000 premises so far.

Superfast South Yorkshire is supporting the roll out of Project Gigabit in South Yorkshire, we will work with Building Digital UK (BDUK), part of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), local authorities and the broadband market to ensure that everyone will have the same access to gigabit-capable broadband.
