The latest independent model has estimated that the H1 2020 coverage of “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP networks across the UK has risen to 14.8% of premises (up from 11% in H2 2019), while 61.7% can get 100Mbps+ (up from 59.3%) and 22.1% are within reach of “gigabit<\/em>” (1Gbps) speeds.<\/p>\n

Just for context, it’s important to highlight that the first c.76% of “superfast<\/em>” (30Mbps+) network coverage was largely achieved by commercial roll-outs from Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) and Virgin Media<\/a> (plus some alternative network ISPs), while much of the final 24% has benefited from \u00a31.8bn<\/strong> of public funding via the Building Digital UK<\/a> project and other schemes (often matched by contributions from private operators).<\/p>\n

The original state aid fuelled BDUK scheme has previously indicated that a combination of public funding reinvestment (i.e. clawback \/ gainshare from high take-up and efficiency savings in earlier BDUK deployments) and new contracts could push UK coverage of superfast speeds to “at least<\/em>” 98%, but for now we’re still stuck at about 96.4% (96.7% if using the older 24Mbps+ measure). You have to order one of these services in order to benefit (not an automatic upgrade).<\/p>\n

As usual that means the remaining gap is left to be filled by the Government’s 10Mbps Universal Service Obligation<\/strong><\/a> (USO), which went live a few months ago. Most people taking the USO are being promised speeds of above 10Mbps but a lot of people are already finding that they live in areas where not even the USO can cover the huge upgrade costs involved (and 4G<\/a> isn’t available), which means they aren’t able to benefit.<\/p>\n

More recently the UK Government has committed \u00a35bn to support a future “gigabit-capable<\/em>” broadband roll-out to the final 20% of hardest to reach UK premises (here<\/a>), although this means that some premises will be stuck on slow connectivity for a few years longer (the somewhat over-optimistic ambition is to make such connections available to every home by the end of 2025). This is the first time that we’ve included a figure for gigabit services below, thus there’s no history tracking.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, a growing number of FTTP<\/a> providers are making significant roll-out plans (details<\/a>) and as such we expect to see a rapid increase in coverage over the next decade. Below you can see the latest modelling from Thinkbroadband<\/a> to July 2020 (H1) and as usual we’ve stripped out some of the more confusing aspects in order to make it easier to read.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The figure in brackets (%) below represents the previous 2019 H2 result (using January 2020 data).<\/div>\n

NOTE 1:<\/strong> <\/span>Nearly all of the “ultrafast<\/em>” (100Mbps+) coverage is coming from Virgin Media<\/a>’s cable network, although Openreach<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a>, Cityfibre<\/a>, TrueSpeed<\/a> and others all have big “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>\/H) expansion plans. The 330Mbps capable G.fast<\/a> roll-out to 2.8 million UK premises has had a small impact too.<\/p>\n

NOTE 2:<\/strong><\/span> It’s very important to remember that Government \/ political targets like 95% reflect a national average, which can of course be better or worse for some regions (e.g. a few may achieve universal coverage, while others could be well below that).<\/p>\n

NOTE 3:<\/strong><\/span> The 10Mbps USO figure above looks at fixed broadband services but doesn’t factor the impact of 4G<\/a> or 5G<\/a> based mobile broadband, if that were included then the gap left to fill would be much smaller (example<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Naturally the coverage of “superfast<\/em>” networks has slowed as the roll-out moves to tackle more challenging rural areas, while “full fibre<\/em>” is growing at a much more rapid pace due to the current focus on that technology in largely urban areas (we expect a fair bit of overbuild in such locations and hence why the ‘ultrafast<\/em>‘ figure doesn’t rise quite as fast).<\/p>\n

In terms of future “gigabit-capable<\/em>” coverage you should probably be looking toward the “ultrafast<\/em>” figure as a guide because nearly all networks in that class will soon be able to deliver speeds of 1Gbps (except G.fast<\/a> but gigabit capable networks are already overbuilding some of that). At present Virgin Media<\/a> delivers most of the ultrafast coverage but their DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 will make 1Gbps possible by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

Take note that each devolved region has its own policy and targets, which all feed into the central UK target. Interestingly while Northern Ireland<\/strong> may be struggling to deliver superfast speeds, their full fibre coverage is way ahead of other areas.<\/p>\n

As stated earlier, this data is an estimate and should be taken with a pinch of salt, not least because it won’t always reflect the real-world. But it’s still one of the best gauges that we have for checking against official claims (official figures tend to be a tiny bit higher than TBB’s due to differences in data modelling etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
