Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) have today added 67 new locations into their UK “Fibre Cities<\/em>” roll-out programme for 1Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP technology, which forms part of their \u00a312bn project to cover 20 million premises by around the mid to late 2020s (2025 – 2030).<\/p>\n

Until now Openreach<\/a> had mostly released enough “full fibre<\/em>” planning to achieve their first target of 4.5 million premises by March 2021 (except for the rural commitment mentioned further below). After that they also hold an ambition to invest \u00a312bn in order to cover 20 million premises by the “mid – to late-2020s<\/em>” (here<\/a>) – at an “average build cost of \u00a3300 – \u00a3400 per premises.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a> has so far covered 3 million+ premises with FTTP<\/a> and they now expect to hit 4.5 million by March 2021 (current average build rate of c.34,000 per week). A max build rate of 3 million per year is envisaged.<\/div>\n

In short, we’ve been patiently awaiting more news of the operator’s roll-out plan for beyond March 2021 and this reflects that, with work due to start on this phase in that same month. We should point out that today’s update is only the first in what will be a string of future announcements over the next few years, but given their revised expectation for March 2021 it would appear as if Openreach aren’t expecting the COVID-19<\/strong> crisis to have too much of a negative impact.<\/p>\n

The previous decision to aim for a fairly open roll-out window until the “late 2020s<\/em>” also gives them plenty of wriggle room later on.<\/p>\n

We should remind readers that this predominantly reflects Openreach’s commercial build, which for the time being is still mainly focused upon lucrative urban areas (cities and towns). However, the operator did recently confirm that their future plan would involve connecting 3.2 million premises in rural communities by 2025\/26 too (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Separately they’re also still deploying some FTTP<\/a> into rural area via Building Digital UK<\/a> linked state aid schemes and gigabit vouchers (here<\/a>), which may grow if they win contracts under the future \u00a35bn F20 gigabit fund<\/strong><\/a> (here<\/a>) – this is focused on the final 20% of hardest to reach premises.<\/p>\n

The Government has a related ambition to reach every home with a “gigabit-capable<\/em>” broadband connection by the end of 2025<\/strong>, which in our view remains an over-optimistic target but it can also be delivered by hybrid fibre (e.g. Virgin Media<\/a>’s DOCSIS<\/a>) or fixed wireless (e.g. 5G<\/a>) networks, rather than just “full fibre<\/em>” ones (the prior target for universal FTTP coverage was 2033). Altnet ISPs will play a big role (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

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

Clive Selley, CEO of Openreach, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Despite the challenges of the pandemic we\u2019re continuing to make great strides towards our goal to build ultrafast, ultra-reliable broadband to 20 million homes and businesses.<\/p>\n

This new digital platform can help the UK\u2019s economy bounce back quicker from the Covid-19 crisis and, whilst a full recovery is likely to be measured in years rather than months, there\u2019s strong evidence that Full Fibre broadband could help to turbo-charge that process.<\/p>\n

For homes, shops, GP surgeries and schools across the country it will mean fewer broadband faults, faster connections, and a consistent reliable network that will serve them for decades to come.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The top fastest consumer (residential) focused FTTP tier on Openreach’s network is currently 1Gbps (115Mbps upload), although so far only some ISPs have had a chance to adopt their fastest tiers (introduced in March 2020<\/a>) and thus the 330Mbps option tends to be the most commonly available one but that is changing. You can also get a good idea of the different ISP choices here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Otherwise we note that take-up on Openreach’s FTTP network is currently at 18.6%, although a lot of that stems from their slower pre-2018 builds and as such the high rate of deployment over the next few years will inevitably out-pace adoption (i.e. the take-up rate will go down as build ramps-up). In order to properly measure early take-up you really have to look at areas that have been live for 12-24 months.<\/p>\n

Finally, since the latest build programme began in February 2018, Openreach engineers have deployed around 2.6 million kilometres of fibre – enough to travel to the moon and back three times.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> We expect to see a 1Gbps symmetric option for businesses in the future (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

UPDATE 11:53am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anybody interested in seeing which sub-contractor will be responsible for building in each of the above areas – as a complement to Openreach’s own teams – can now do so (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
