I\u2019m delighted to announce that families and businesses in Coventry will soon be among the first in the UK to benefit from this commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Our engineers have so far built full fibre broadband technology to more than 600,000 premises and are already working in nearby Birmingham, which was one of the first \u2018fibre cities\u2019 announced earlier this year. Despite the challenges of planning, street works and permissions, we\u2019re reaching thousands of homes each week and we\u2019re on track for our ambition of reaching 10 million premises by the mid-2020s.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Margot James MP, UK Digital Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Making sure that people have access to full fibre broadband, as quickly as is realistically possible, is of huge importance. It\u2019s great to see Openreach making significant progress in the West Midlands, adding Coventry to the list of areas to benefit from the early stages of the programme. And it was really interesting to get a behind the scenes look at the civil engineering work that\u2019s at the forefront of introducing this new technology.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A quick glance at <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.thinkbroadband.com\/local\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thinkbroadband<\/a>&#8216;s database reveals that nearly 97% of Coventry can already access a &#8220;<em>superfast broadband<\/em>&#8221; (<strong>30Mbps+<\/strong>) capable network, which is largely thanks to Openreach\u2019s existing but much slower <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\" target=\"_new\">FTTC<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a>) network and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>&#8217;s 362Mbps capable cable coverage (the latter reaches around 75% of local premises). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> already covers 4.91% of the city but just 1.15% is via Openreach.<\/p>\n<p>One rather important point in all this is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> have already announced their plans to cover Coventry with 1Gbps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a> broadband by the end of 2021 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/04\/cityfibre-1gbps-full-fibre-for-edinburgh-coventry-huddersfield-and-stirling.html\">here<\/a>) and so they&#8217;re unlikely to be very happy about today&#8217;s announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Lest we forget that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/hyperopticfibre\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Hyperoptic<\/a> is also doing something similar with large apparent blocks in the city.
