Network access provider Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) appears to have added 7 new UK locations to their roll-out plan for Gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP technology, which largely reflects the outcome from a recent consolidation of smaller builds in to fewer, but larger, build areas.<\/p>\n

At present the operator is building at a pace of around 26,000 premises per week and they’ve already covered a total of 2 million premises, although their build rate is forecast to reach 30,000 per week when they exit the 2019\/20 period. Most of this is still being delivered at the “lower end<\/em>” of their \u00a3300 – \u00a3400 per premises passed<\/strong> cost range and they expect to “pass around 50% of UK premises within this range of costs.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Deployment costs rise disproportionately the further you go outside of lucrative urban areas. Openreach<\/a> claim those in the final 10% could cost \u00a34K each to pass (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

All of this supports their current aim of covering 4 million premises (homes and businesses) by March 2021 and then 15 million by around 2025. However we note that Openreach<\/a>’s last roll-out update in October 2019 reflected their completed deployment plan for reaching that 4 million mark (here<\/a>) and we’re currently awaiting their new strategy before the next major roll-out phase is announced.<\/p>\n

Otherwise this month’s rollout update adds the following locations: Bromley, Erewash, Greenwich, Hillingdon, Rushcliffe, Southwark and Sunbury. Unusually no official announcement was sent to us about this development, although it did pop up on their Fibre First Forward Plan<\/strong><\/a> (credits to Harmeet for spotting the additions).<\/p>\n

We should remind readers that this predominantly reflects Openreach’s purely commercial investment, which for the time being is being focused upon the most lucrative urban areas. Separately they’re also still rolling out some FTTP<\/a> into rural areas, albeit mostly via Building Digital UK<\/a> (BDUK) linked state aid schemes.<\/p>\n

All of this will no doubt help the Government to achieve their ambition of deploying “gigabit-capable<\/em>” broadband networks to cover the whole of the United Kingdom by around 2025 (here<\/a>), which will also involve input from many alternative network ISPs.<\/p>\n

Finally, Openreach has previously hinted that they could eventually go beyond 15 million premises (i.e. “majority of the UK if the right investment conditions are in place<\/em>“), although this is unlikely to happen without softer regulation (they may have just got this one<\/a>), easier wayleave agreements and an extension to the business rates relief on new fibre (currently in England it only lasts for 5 years – Scotland 10 years – but most FTTP builds plan investment over 15 years+).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

UPDATE 3:01pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Openreach informs that what they’ve done is consolidated a number smaller builds in to fewer, but larger, build areas which allows them to publicly announce more “contiguous exchanges<\/em>” (i.e. a reallocation of the existing plan). As such there is technically no overall increase to premises passed beyond the last update and we’ll thus have to wait a bit longer for their next major roll-out announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
