Every 28 seconds we pass a home or business with our new future-proofed full fibre network. This has given us ever greater confidence in the level and accuracy of whatever we announce \u2013 which is why we\u2019ve now laid out our build plans right up to the target delivery date of four million premises by March 2021.<\/p>\n<p>We also want to ensure we give our stakeholders \u2013 like council leaders, planners and MPs \u2013 the best view of where and when we intend to build so we can work together to build as rapidly as possible and help encourage people to take up the technology when it arrives.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We should remind readers that this predominantly reflects Openreach&#8217;s purely commercial investment, which for the time being is primarily being focused upon the most lucrative urban areas. Separately they&#8217;re also still rolling out some FTTP into rural areas via BDUK linked state aid schemes.<\/p>\n<p>All of this will no doubt help the Government to achieve their ambition of deploying &#8220;<em>gigabit-capable<\/em>&#8221; broadband networks to cover the whole of the United Kingdom by around 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/09\/boris-johnson-to-splurge-5bn-on-uk-2015-gigabit-broadband-target.html\">here<\/a>), which will of course involve input from many alternative network ISPs and not just Openreach (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/04\/building-uk-summary-fttp-broadband-rollouts-investment.html\">summary of UK full fibre deployments<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However some of those alternative providers, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a>, will no doubt be irritated to see that more of their rival city-wide FTTP deployments are set to suffer overbuild from Openreach (e.g. Aberdeen, Derby and Northampton). On the other hand that&#8217;s what you expect in aggressively competitive urban areas, which should be able to sustain several competing networks. Sadly that won&#8217;t help the overall goal of maximising coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Openreach has also hinted that they could potentially go beyond 15 million premises in the future (&#8220;<em>majority of the UK if the right investment conditions are in place<\/em>&#8220;), although this is unlikely to happen without softer regulation, easier wayleave agreements and an extension to the business rates relief on new fibre (currently in England it only lasts for 5 years &#8211; Scotland 10 years &#8211; but most FTTP builds plan for investment over 15 years+).<\/p>\n<p>As usual you can check out the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeandbusiness.openreach.co.uk\/fibre-first\">fibre first roll-out page on their website<\/a><\/strong>, which includes a more detailed exchange level roll-out plan for each of the announced locations (constantly being update). Likewise it&#8217;s worth pointing out that a number of ISPs offer FTTP packages based off Openreach&#8217;s network and you can check out our recent summary for a better indication (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/08\/consumer-isp-choices-on-openreachs-uk-fttp-broadband-network.html\">here<\/a>).
