So far this is all being delivered at the &#8220;<em>lower end<\/em>&#8221; of their <strong>\u00a3300 &#8211; \u00a3400 per premises passed<\/strong> cost range and they eventually expect to &#8220;<em>pass around 50% of UK premises within this range of costs<\/em>&#8221; (likely to cost c.\u00a35bn+ for 15m).<\/p>\n<p>Precise figures won&#8217;t be published until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Group&#8217;s next set of financial results (due later next week), but we note that the pace of build actually increased by a noticeably larger than normal amount between the end of February and the end of March 2020. This is interesting given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s change in working due to the COVID-19 lockdown (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/03\/covid-19-openreach-stop-uk-broadband-isp-and-phone-work.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>We have seen big &#8220;<em>ramping-up<\/em>&#8221; jumps like the aforementioned one before (e.g. between July and August 2019), but at present it&#8217;s difficult to know if the jump in March was due to COVID-19 related aspects (e.g. lower road congestion) or was already part of their existing plan as more engineers joined the effort. The lockdown impact itself didn&#8217;t hit till late March, so won&#8217;t have too much of an impact on progress in Q1 (calendar).<\/p>\n<p>The bigger question is whether this roll-out will now suffer, particularly through April and June, due to the impact of COVID-19 on their available workforce and complex supply \/ support chains (other operators have had these issues). Openreach&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> roll-out is currently under review due to the current crisis (a normal response) and we&#8217;ll have to wait until the early summer to know for sure what kind of impact the virus has had.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime there&#8217;s still 1.5 million premises yet to build over the next 12 months (from the end of March 2020), which equates to a build pace of 125,000 premises per month or around 31,250 &#8211; 28,000 per week. If we ignore the uncertain impact of COVID-19 then it&#8217;s clear that Openreach would, in normal times, have no difficulty in achieving the 2021 target.<\/p>\n<p>One small side note is that hybrid fibre <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a><\/strong> coverage still seems to be hovering at above 2.7 million premises passed in March 2020, which is also roughly where it was at the end of December 2019. Assuming this is supported by the next set of results then it would appear as if Openreach have indeed shelved the main roll-out of this technology, which wouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise to ISPreview.co.uk&#8217;s readership (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/09\/openreach-put-the-brakes-on-future-uk-g-fast-broadband-plans.html\">here<\/a>). The outcome of their related review was recently put on pause due to COVID-19 and so we&#8217;ll have to wait a little longer before knowing its true fate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several industry sources have enabled us to confirm that Openreach&#8217;s new gigabit capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based broadband ISP network has now reached an official coverage figure of just over 2.5 million UK premises (end of March 2020 \/ Q4 financial), which leaves 1.5 million left to do in order to hit 4m by March 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22135,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,56,417,69],"class_list":["post-22133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-fttp","tag-g-fast","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
